Tercos

La Pestilencia's song 'Tercos' is a raw and unfiltered critique of authority figures, particularly those in law enforcement and military roles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the oppressive nature of these figures, describing them as 'puppets in green' and 'savages' who mindlessly follow orders without thinking for themselves. The use of the word 'cerdos' (pigs) is a common derogatory term for police officers, highlighting the disdain and contempt the artist feels towards them.

The song delves into the blind obedience of these authority figures, suggesting that they are ignorant and incapable of independent thought. This is emphasized by lines like 'obey without thinking' and 'they don't think for themselves.' The lyrics also touch on the violence and brutality inflicted by these figures, as they 'hit people' and 'despise and hate' those they are supposed to protect. The mention of 'my lieutenant hits them' suggests a cycle of violence and a hierarchy within the oppressive system.

'Tercos' also addresses the symbols of authority—boots, caps, badges, and guns—describing them as 'made of shit.' This imagery conveys the artist's belief that these symbols are meaningless and only serve to perpetuate violence and control. The song ends on a defiant note, with a promise to 'end this shit,' indicating a desire for rebellion and change. La Pestilencia, known for their punk and hardcore style, uses this song to channel their frustration and anger towards systemic oppression, urging listeners to question and resist authority.
