Clo(w)n?

La Polla Records, a seminal punk band from Spain, is known for their politically charged and socially critical lyrics. In 'Clo(w)n?', the band delves into a dystopian vision of the future where humans are manufactured and commodified. The song paints a grim picture of a society where individuality is eradicated, and people are turned into products, stripped of their humanity and autonomy.

The lyrics describe a world where humans are engineered to be 'adaptable,' 'strong,' and 'immune to disease,' but at the cost of their free will and individuality. The reference to 'Superman' symbolizes an idealized, superior being created in a laboratory, representing the ultimate loss of human essence. This new 'Aryan race' is a chilling nod to eugenics and the dark history of attempts to create a 'perfect' human race. The song critiques the commodification of human beings, where people are no longer consumers but products themselves, a 'fascist dream come true.'

The song also touches on the ethical implications of such scientific advancements. The 'adequate purchasing power' required to enjoy these 'graces of science' highlights the socio-economic divide, where only the wealthy can afford to benefit from these advancements. The various 'models' of humans, from the 'vicious nun' to the 'drug-addicted politician,' underscore the absurdity and moral decay of a society that treats humans as customizable commodities. The repeated refrain 'ya viene superman te sustituirá' (Superman is coming to replace you) serves as a stark warning of the dehumanizing future that awaits if society continues down this path.

La Polla Records uses 'Clo(w)n?' to provoke thought and challenge listeners to reflect on the ethical and social consequences of scientific and technological advancements. The song is a powerful critique of a future where humanity is sacrificed at the altar of progress and consumerism.
