Hipócritas

La Polla Records' song "Hipócritas" is a raw and unapologetic critique of societal hypocrisy, particularly targeting the double standards prevalent in various aspects of life. The lyrics are direct and confrontational, reflecting the band's punk ethos and their commitment to challenging the status quo. The song opens by addressing the scandal surrounding sex, pointing out the contradiction of condemning sexual behavior while simultaneously engaging in it through paid services. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which continues to expose various forms of hypocrisy.

The second verse highlights the issue of domestic violence, condemning the act of hitting women while also pointing out the societal indifference to the cries of the victims. This verse underscores the pervasive nature of gender-based violence and the failure of society to adequately address it. The song then moves on to racial hypocrisy, criticizing those who decry the killing of Black people but still harbor and act on racist sentiments. This verse is a powerful indictment of performative allyship and the superficial nature of some anti-racist stances.

The chorus, repeating the phrase "Hipócritas católicos" (Catholic hypocrites), serves as a scathing rebuke of religious hypocrisy. By calling out Catholic hypocrites, the band is not only criticizing the religious institution but also the individuals who fail to live up to the moral standards they preach. The repetition of the word "hipócritas" (hypocrites) throughout the song reinforces the central theme and drives home the message that hypocrisy is pervasive and damaging. La Polla Records uses their music as a platform to call out these double standards and encourage listeners to reflect on their own actions and beliefs.
