Democrata cristiano

Los Miserables' song "Democrata cristiano" is a powerful and raw critique of the hypocrisy and corruption often found in political and religious leaders. The band, known for their punk rock style and socially charged lyrics, uses this song to call out the contradictions between the professed values of democracy and Christianity and the actions of those who claim to uphold them. The lyrics are direct and confrontational, reflecting the frustration and anger of the working class towards those in power.

The song opens with a dismissive tone, telling the hypocritical leaders to go away. It then describes these leaders as being 'rotten with money' and 'inflated like pigs,' highlighting their greed and gluttony. The imagery of building houses next to factories and selling products that the workers themselves produce underscores the exploitation and manipulation of the working class. The repeated refrain, 'ERES DEMÓCRATA Y CRISTIANO, ERES UN GUSANO' (You are a Democrat and Christian, you are a worm), drives home the message of deceit and moral decay.

The song also touches on the personal lives of these leaders, mentioning their luxurious lifestyles and infidelities, which starkly contrast with the teachings of Christianity. The sarcastic repetition of 'cristo, cristo' and 'que discípulos' (what disciples) further emphasizes the betrayal of Christian values. Los Miserables use their music as a platform to voice the disillusionment and anger of those who feel betrayed by the very institutions that are supposed to protect and serve them. This song is a call to recognize and challenge the systemic corruption and hypocrisy that pervades both political and religious spheres.
