  • Io amo le cose semplici
    E bacio la mia donna sotto la pioggia perché abbiamo gusti identici
    Per fare colpo non mi serve lo yacht
    Per fare strada non mi serve la Porsche

    I'm a man, a man of simple pleasures
    I got all I need, so give me whisky measures
    With dyslexic eyes, seeing very clearly by the way
    I'm on my way
    For all of my life
    I've been treated like a fool
    But I'm no one's fool

    Here I go once again
    Trying hard to pretend
    There's a future in your man made rules
    I'll be governed by the road
    Get to shed this heavy load
    I see no future, so leave me alone in past

    Viviamo nel presente perché ci han tolto il futuro
    Siamo il colore prepotente di uno spray sul muro
    Qui nella zona grigia terra di nessuno

    I am told, the world is nearly ending
    But when I look outside the birds are always singing
    You throw sticks and bones
    Remember every dog will have it's day
    I'm on my way

    For all of my life
    I've been treated like a fool
    But I'm no one's fool
    Here I go once again
    Trying hard to pretend
    There's a future in your man made rules
    I'll be governed by the road
    Get to shed this heavy load
    I've seen your future, so leave me alone in past

    Go on, let the righteous guide you home
    To where you belong
    I'll stay, dancing to my favourite tune
    That's where I belong
    You won't take me for a ride
    I'm far too fast for you to keep up with me
    You won't take me for a ride
    Never catch them relly need no money
    I'm not gonna be standing in the line (you won't take me for a ride)
    Waiting for you just to kick me out (you won't take me for a ride, I'll calm down)
    You won't take me for a ride
    You won't take me for a ride, I'll calm down

    E la storia la scrive il vincitore (oh-oh-oh)
    Così un terrorista diventa un eroe (oh-oh-oh)
    Ma io so chi ci ha spinto sull'orlo del precipizio (oh-oh-oh)
    E mi lascio governare solo dall'istinto (oh-oh-oh)
    Il capo ha un giornale che (oh-oh-oh)
    Parla di crisi come calamità naturale (oh-oh-oh)
    Naturale come per la belva sbranare (oh-oh-oh)
    Al politico serve la gente come alla zecca il cane (oh-oh-oh)
    Ma io sono un uomo semplice e non voglio potere (oh-oh-oh)
    Semplicemente non traggo piacere (oh-oh-oh)
    Dall'avere sottomessi e un'investitura d'onorevole (oh-oh-oh)
    O una divisa che protegga i miei interessi (oh-oh-oh)
    E anche se fossi fossi rinchiuso in prigione (oh-oh-oh)
    Saprei volare via con la fantasia e una canzone (oh-oh-oh)
    E trattare il mio padrone da servo (oh-oh-oh)
    Mentre cerco un fiore in mezzo al deserto (oh-oh-oh) Writer/s: Sergio Pizzorno
