Lucky Man For You

La Polla Records' song "Lucky Man For You" is a biting critique of societal hypocrisy, corruption, and the intertwining of religion and politics. The band, known for its punk rock style and politically charged lyrics, uses this song to expose the contradictions and moral failings of those in power. The repetitive and almost mocking tone of the phrase "Lucky man, lucky man for you" serves to highlight the irony and absurdity of the situations described in the lyrics.

The song opens with a vivid image of money laundering and support for global fascism, immediately setting a tone of corruption and moral decay. The line "Amaos los unos a los otros, dice el asesino" ("Love one another, says the murderer") is a stark juxtaposition that underscores the hypocrisy of those who preach love and peace while committing heinous acts. This contradiction is further emphasized by the imagery of a kitchen adorned with a photo of the Pope and a national flag, suggesting a facade of piety and patriotism that masks deeper, more sinister actions.

The song also critiques the commercialization of religion and the exploitation of people's faith. The line "A cuarenta pavos la reliquia, milagro garantizado" ("Forty bucks for the relic, miracle guaranteed") mocks the selling of religious artifacts and the false promises of miracles. This commercialization is presented as a farce, questioning the authenticity and integrity of such practices. The closing lines, "Si esto es vivir ¿en serio? Preferimos hacer el indio" ("If this is living, seriously? We'd rather play the fool"), express a rejection of this hypocritical and corrupt way of life, preferring instead to embrace authenticity, even if it means being seen as foolish.
