Delincuencia

La Polla Records' song "Delincuencia" is a powerful critique of societal corruption and hypocrisy. The band, known for their punk rock style and politically charged lyrics, uses this song to turn the concept of delinquency on its head. Instead of targeting the stereotypical 'criminals' often portrayed in media and politics, the song points the finger at those in positions of power—bankers, politicians, arms manufacturers, and religious institutions. These groups are depicted as the true delinquents, exploiting and manipulating society for their gain.

The lyrics are a scathing indictment of the systemic corruption that permeates various sectors. By calling out bankers as 'thieves without a lever' and politicians as 'swindlers,' the song highlights the pervasive dishonesty and exploitation that often go unpunished. The mention of 'arms manufacturers' and 'religions' as calming agents further underscores the idea that these institutions maintain control and profit through fear and manipulation. The song's chorus, which repeatedly asserts that 'delinquency is yours,' serves as a direct accusation against these powerful entities.

La Polla Records also touches on the role of media and advertising in perpetuating this cycle of corruption. The phrase 'the drug of advertising' suggests that consumerism and media influence are tools used to distract and pacify the public. The song concludes with a call to recognize that the real crime is the exploitation and manipulation by those in power, rather than the petty crimes often highlighted in society. This message resonates with the punk ethos of challenging authority and advocating for social justice, making "Delincuencia" a timeless anthem against corruption and hypocrisy.
