Una canzone che mi ha ricordato “They Live” (“Essi vivono”), il bellissimo film girato nel 1988 dal grande John Carpenter.
The aliens came in business suits, that's why nobody knew
perfect haircuts looking smooth, just like me and you
they looked so much like they belonged, nobody looked their way
The aliens came in business suits, business suits, business suits
The aliens came in business suits
it was a fateful day

The aliens came in business suits, we thought they were our friends
short haircuts, white shirts and ties, the women and the men
they said "Business is our business", that's how they defined their ground
The aliens came in business suits, business suits, business suits
The aliens came in business suits
and took no money down

The aliens came in business suits they elected one of their own
nobody voted for him but everybody took him home
well, he did look good on camera, had a kind of handsome face
The aliens came in business suits, business suits, business suits
The aliens came in business suits
and took every parking space

The aliens came in business suits and they invented megatons
they divided the whole world up in half and to each half they gave one
and they said "You better watch yourselves or there'll be nothing left but bugs"
The aliens came in business suits, business suits, business suits
The aliens came in business suits
it was like some ugly drug

The aliens came in business suits and they fooled us all the while
they gave each of us an ID card and put our faces in a file
well, they looked so much like they belonged, no one raised a fuss
The aliens came in business suits, business suits, business suits
The aliens came in business suits
the aliens were us

Di destra o di sinistra o di qualunque altra cosa dicano di essere, i potenti della terra sono tutti dei laidi pezzi di merda, "alieni vestiti da uomini d'affari"...
Come quel porco schifoso stupratore di Dominique Strauss-Kahn, "socialista", direttore generale del Fondo Monetario Internazionale e - fino a ieri - potenziale avversario diretto di Sarkozy...

Dominique Strauss-Kahn


Per una volta, è una grande soddisfazione vedere un tal cochon trascinato in manette, vuoi per la violenza di cui si è macchiato (e pare non sia la prima volta) nei confronti di una donna, vuoi per i piani di aggiustamento strutturale "lacrime e sangue" e tutte le altre schifezze che, come responsabile di quella istituzione, ha imposto ai popoli (in particolare oggi ai greci, agli irlandesi e ai portoghesi) curando sempre di salvaguardare gli interessi di banche e finanza, i veri avvoltoi responsabili della crisi che stiamo tutti attraversando...
