Flood

Quante volte sarà capitato ad ognuno di trovarsi inaspettatamente ad ascoltare qualcuno che biascica discorsi razzisti o fascisti... Mandarlo a cagare subito ed allontanarsi, anche fosse amico del tuo amico, che non si può stringere la mano al diavolo e riderci su...

Se ne sono accorti anche la Merkel e i suoi, che volevano medagliare i due poliziotti italiani che hanno fermato per sempre Anis Amri, il terrorista tunisino autore della strage al mercatino di Natale a Berlino nel dicembre scorso... I tedeschi hanno scoperto che sui profili social dei due eroici “servitori dello Stato” (dipendenti pubblici, è bene ricordarlo) era tutto un fiorire di saluti romani, busti de Dvce e frasi violente e razziste contro gli immigrati...



La medaglia verrà invece giustamente assegnata alla memoria del camionista polacco ucciso da Amri nel tentativo di opporsi al furto del mezzo con cui poi il tunisino avrebbe seminato la morte.
This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend

It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended
If anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended
My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying

This is where the party ends
I'll just sit here wondering how you
Can stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
You and your racist friend

This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend

Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
Your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding

This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
