Balada Inculta

La Polla Records' song "Balada Inculta" is a raw and unapologetic critique of cultural elitism and the hypocrisy often found within intellectual circles. The band, known for their punk rock ethos, uses this song to voice their disdain for those who consider themselves superior due to their education or cultural knowledge. The lyrics are a direct attack on the so-called 'men of knowledge,' accusing them of immorality and an inability to justify their actions. The phrase "No podéis justificar vuestra inmoralidad" (You cannot justify your immorality) encapsulates this sentiment, suggesting that the intellectual elite are corrupt and beyond redemption.

The song also mocks the superficiality and pretentiousness of high culture. Lines like "toda tu cultura ni araña mi piel" (all your culture doesn't even scratch my skin) and "está podrida, es un puto insulto al buen gusto" (it's rotten, it's a fucking insult to good taste) highlight the band's belief that this so-called culture is worthless and offensive. The use of strong language and vivid imagery serves to emphasize their contempt and frustration. The repeated refrain "na ra na na na na" adds a mocking tone, further diminishing the perceived value of this elite culture.

Moreover, the song touches on the broader societal issues of inequality and exploitation. The line "en el planeta basura los limpios hacen seguros sus negocios gracias al amor y la oración" (on the trash planet, the clean ones secure their businesses thanks to love and prayer) suggests that those in power maintain their status through deceit and manipulation, rather than genuine merit or morality. This critique extends beyond cultural elitism to a broader condemnation of societal structures that perpetuate inequality and injustice. La Polla Records uses their music as a platform to challenge these norms and advocate for a more equitable society.
