P.O.D. - Youth of Nation



A letra desta música é espectacular porque espelha bem a juventude da nação, em particular da americana.

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I wouldÂ’ve known
Cause I would've kissed my mama goodbye

I didnÂ’t tell her that I loved her, how much I care
Or thank my papa for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasnÂ’t like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didnÂ’t see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldnÂ’t hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I donÂ’t really know this kid
But I sat by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know itÂ’s because

We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel

Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

ItÂ’s kind of hard when you ainÂ’t got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

You cross the line and thereÂ’s no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation

WhoÂ’s to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It donÂ’t take away the pain

That I feel inside, IÂ’m tired of all the lies
DonÂ’t nobody know why
ItÂ’s the blind leading the blind

I guess thatÂ’s the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
SomebodyÂ’s got to know

ThereÂ’s got to be more to life than this
ThereÂ’s got to be more to everything
I thought exists

We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation

Youth of the nation...we are(contin.)

Peste & Sida - Sol da Caparica



Neste mês de Agosto há muitas pessoas que levam literalmente à letra esta canção.

Descapotável pela ponte com o cabelo a voar
O calor abrasador e a pressa de chegar
Óculos escuros da Ray-Ban e o cantante a partir
A K-7 dos Ramones para a gente curtir

Aqui vou eu para a Costa
Aqui vou eu cheio de pica
De Lisboa vou fugir
Vou pró Sol da Caparica (2x)

Abancado na esplanada mesmo à beira do mar
A cerveja na mesa para refrescar
Ao longo das praias sob o Sol de Verão
As miúdas da Costa são uma tentação

Por isso vou para a costa
Por isso vou cheio de pica
Viro costas a Lisboa
Vou pró sol da Caparica (2x)

E assim vamos gozando as ferias de Verão
Tenho o sol da caparica mesmo aqui à mao

Aqui vou eu
Aqui vou eu
De Lisboa vou fugir
Vou para o Sol da Caparica (2x)

Aqui vou eu para a Costa
Aqui vou eu cheio de pica
De Lisboa vou fugir
Vou pró Sol da Caparica
