Hijo de Puta
Sexy Zebras
A Defiant Anthem Against Corruption and Injustice
Sexy Zebras' song "Hijo de Puta" is a raw and powerful protest against corruption, injustice, and societal apathy. The lyrics are a direct and unfiltered critique of those in power who exploit and oppress the common people. The song opens with a scathing description of corrupt individuals—"Bandidos, corruptos, rateros"—and condemns not only the perpetrators but also those who stand by and do nothing, equating their inaction to complicity.
The chorus, with its repeated line "Hijo de puta el que no salte," serves as a rallying cry for unity and resistance. The phrase, which translates to "Son of a bitch if you don't jump," is a call to action, urging listeners to stand up and fight against the injustices they face. The repetition of this line emphasizes the urgency and importance of collective action, suggesting that everyone is affected by these issues and must come together to combat them.
The song also touches on personal experiences of exploitation and betrayal, with lines like "Hay una carta muy bien sellada" and "Esto es un atraco a mano armada," painting a vivid picture of the personal impact of systemic corruption. The use of strong, emotive language throughout the song—"Pedazo de cabrones, enfermos, ladrones"—further underscores the anger and frustration felt by those who are oppressed. Sexy Zebras use their music as a platform to voice their discontent and to inspire others to join the fight for justice and equality.
