Who do you think you’re foolin’ Ronnie
Foolin’ around with our lives
Makin’ us kill our minds and souls
To keep our children alive
You keep buildin’ your superbombs
That’ll kill off half the Earth
Money is the reason that the world exists
For human life has no more worth
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
You better face it the bank don’t care
You’re a number in their eyes
All the smilin’ faces on TV, are nothin’ but hype and lies
The Arabs don’t have nothin to do with the prices that hit the sky
It’s because of the sacred cow big business
And the man in the suit and tie
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Tell me now franklin, are you comin’ to your senses
In the darkest of night
Four point five billion in the world as of this morning
We will double in our might
Livin’ in a bar and grill
With false hopes in a magic pill
That’s takin’ you out on your flight
Have you read your story in the papers this morning
You were not treated right
Not all of us want to be chairman of the board
Not all of us want to be kings
Most of us just want to live our lives
‘Cause our love isn’t made of things
None of us are going to live forever
But our children have to go on
Make human life more precious than gold
And I’ll know that you heard this song
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Foolin’ around with our lives
Makin’ us kill our minds and souls
To keep our children alive
You keep buildin’ your superbombs
That’ll kill off half the Earth
Money is the reason that the world exists
For human life has no more worth
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive
Now is the time to share the wealth,
Now is the time to help ourselves survive

Sono più che sicuro che una volta ci fosse un percorso dedicato a Ronald Reagan... Sono rimasti quelli della Thatcher e di Bush e quello di Ronnie invece è stato espunto?!?
B.B. - 2019/4/19 - 22:56
Ti ricordi male, B.B. Abbiamo George W. Bush, abbiamo la Thatcher e pure Donald Trump, ma non Reagan. Non vorremo mica fare un percorso per ogni presidente americano? Di schifezze varie ne hanno fatte tutti, persino il mitico JFK e i suoi "porci in una baia".

Ero assolutamente convinto che ci fosse... chiedo venia... Però mi pare che sia stata messa un po' mano ai percorsi, giusto?
B.B. - 2019/4/19 - 23:40
Non mi pare. Sicuramente non è stato cancellato nessun percorso. L'ultimo percorso creato è stato quello sui Liberi uccelli.
Lorenzo - 2019/4/19 - 23:42
Comunque avrebbe più senso un percorso sui "Presidenti USA", o sui "Presidenti" tout court... Bush e Trump sono solo delle pallide imitazioni di giganti come Nixon e Ronnie...
B.B. - 2019/4/19 - 23:43
Allora la memoria comincia a cileccare... Comunque in questo splendido sito (intendo dire, non solo per i contenuti ma anche per come è architettato) i percorsi sono l'aspetto più debole... Mi rendo conto però che sarebbe complicatissimo riformarli... Tanto meno sarebbe giusto eliminarli: testimoniano un tentativo fallito di razionalizzazione in un sito fondamentalmente anarchico.
Per dire che va bene così...
(PS Io però mi ricordavo un percorso su Raffaella Carrà, e anche uno sul Califfo... o sbaglio ancora?)

Per freebird, certo, contribuisci pure tutte le "canzoni porno" per la libertà degli uccelli dalla schiavitù delle mutande. Sex Is Not the Enemy!
YEAHHH!!!
FUORI GLI UCCELLI DALLE MUTANDE!!!
BIRDS OUT OF JAIL!!!
GLI UCCELLI DEVONO VOLARE LIBERI!!!

Braviii!!! Era ora di spezzare una lancia per la libertà degli uccelli!
(PS. Certo che quei tre qui sopra sono proprio un po' lacchi...)

tra presidenti, percorsi, ucellacci e uccellini questa pagina ha preso un po' una deriva strana. La canzone - che ascolto per la prima volta - però è bella e meriterebbe di sicuro una traduzione!
