Así Es La Vida

La Polla Records' song 'Así Es La Vida' is a raw and unfiltered critique of societal injustices and the pervasive sense of helplessness that many people feel. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world where misery and greed dominate, and the cries of the weak are ignored. The phrase 'Así es la vida' (That's life) is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing a resigned acceptance of these harsh realities. This resignation is not just a passive acceptance but a reflection of the frustration and anger felt by those who see no way out of their dire circumstances.

The song also takes aim at the complacency and hypocrisy of those in power. Lines like 'Un poco de calma, tan grave no es, hagan otro esfuerzo hasta fin de mes' (A little calm, it's not that serious, make another effort until the end of the month) highlight the disconnect between the ruling class and the struggles of ordinary people. The powerful are depicted as indifferent, content to 'mamar del presupuesto' (suck from the budget) while the masses suffer. This stark contrast underscores the song's message about the exploitation and manipulation inherent in societal structures.

Furthermore, 'Así Es La Vida' critiques the commercialization of rebellion and the co-opting of youthful dissent. The line 'Si eres joven y rebelde, Coca-Cola te comprende' (If you're young and rebellious, Coca-Cola understands you) is a biting commentary on how even countercultural movements are commodified and stripped of their revolutionary potential. The song ends on a note of impending doom, with the world described as a 'bomba de tiempo' (time bomb), suggesting that these unresolved tensions and injustices will eventually lead to catastrophic consequences. Through its aggressive and confrontational style, La Polla Records delivers a powerful message about the need for awareness and action in the face of systemic oppression.
