I have already seen those faces, those expressions
in Piazza del Duomo after the elections
they are the same ones that shouted "Barabbas! Barabbas!"
"Barabbas! Barabbas!" "Barabbas! Barabbas!"
I have already seen those faces in Piazza Venezia
when the Duce spoke from the balcony
I saw them again shortly after in Piazzale Loreto
that same fucking expression
br/>I know those faces that burned the witch
I saw them red in the face shouting "league!"
violently attacking a regular passerby
who that day had nothing to celebrate
I have already seen those faces in a full bus
from the stadium returning looking out the window
insulting, spitting, kicking a bin
I have already seen those faces, that expression
br/>It's the same one who shouted "Barabbas! Barabbas!"
"Barabbas! Barabbas!" "Barabba! Barabba!"
I have already seen those faces at a concert in Turin
attacking with insults an Italian singer
who was singing for respect for human rights
I have them magazines the other evening in Piazza del Duomo
I have already seen that face reflected in a mirror
and I hated it and it hated itself with all of itself
it is the face of a mass who needs heroes
who comfortably indulge his vices
I have already seen that face and will see it again
in another square, in another hour
with another slogan with another battle
with another fucking straw tail
I've already seen that face...
I've already seen that face...
it's the same one that he shouted "Barabbas! Barabbas!"
"Barabbas! Barabbas!" "Barabbas! Barabbas!"
An elderly gentleman lives in my building
As a boy that gentleman was a partisan
In his eyes there is the look of someone who has seen a lot
of those who have seen the joy, of those who have seen the tears
his face that history wants to forget
is the face that I instead want to remember
every time I am tempted to agree
to the first one who comes to me with the solution
expression of a mass that needs heroes
who comfortably indulge its vices
But the uncomfortable face of African children
the pride in the looks of Cuban men
is a punch that continually judges us
and says try to be a man before being people!
try to be a man before being people!
try to be a man before being people!
try to be a man before being people!
