24.07.2021 – Where Have All the Rebels Gone?

Van Morrison e Eric Clapton são dois grandes artistas da música popular britânica. Em nossos tempos sombrios, revelaram ter a coragem de dar com sua música uma resposta altiva aos que querem escravizar a humanidade.  Van Morrison escreveu um blues contra os lockdowns, Stand and Deliver, Eric Clapton o cantou.

Os inimigos da humanidade ordenam – Stand and Deliver (Expressão comum nos assaltos na estrada ou na coleta de impostos).  A resposta/pergunta é – Do you wanna be a free man or do you wanna be a slave?  Pelo jeito, nem Van Morrison nem Eric Clapton deixaram que lhes enfiassem o medo no coração.

E alertam – You better look out, people, before it gets too late.

 

Stand and deliver

 

You let them put the fear on you

Stand and deliver

But not a word you heard was true

But if there’s nothing you can say

There may be nothing you can do

Do you wanna be a free man

Or do you wanna be a slave?

Do you wanna be a free man

Or do you wanna be a slave?

Do you wanna wear these chains

Until you’re lying in the grave?

I don’t wanna be a pauper

And I don’t wanna be a prince

I don’t wanna be a pauper

And I don’t wanna be a prince

I just wanna do my job

Playing the blues for friends

Magna Carta, Bill of Rights

The Constitution, what’s it worth?

You know they’re gonna grind us down, ah

Until it really hurts

Is this a sovereign nation

Or just a police state?

You better look out, people

Before it gets too late

 Van Morrison
