(Eugenio Finardi)
Forse è vero che a Cuba non c'è il paradiso
che non vorremmo essere in Cina a coltivare riso
che sempre più spesso ci si trova a dubitare
se in questi anni non abbiamo fatto altro che sognare.
E` che viviamo in un momento di riflusso
e ci sembra che ci stia cadendo il mondo addosso
che tutto quel cantare sul cambiar la situazione
non sia stato che un sogno o un'illusione.
Ma no non è un'utopia,
non è uno scherzo della fantasia,
no non è una bugia,
è solo un gioco dell'economia.
E se in questi anni tanti sogni son sfumati,
in compenso tanti altri li abbiamo realizzati.
C'è chi silenziosamente si è infiltrato dentro al gioco
e ogni giorno lentamente lo modifica di un poco.
Ed è normale che ci si sia rotti i coglioni
di passare la vita in dibattiti e riunioni
e che invece si cerchi di trovare
nella pratica un sistema per lottare.
Ma no non è un'utopia,
non è uno scherzo della fantasia,
no non è una bugia,
è solo un gioco dell'economia.
Eugenio Finardi (born July 16, 1952) is an Italian singer-songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist. Considered one of the pillars of Italian music in the 1970s and 1980s, Finardi has managed to combine catchy melodies with introspective and often committed lyrics. His career developed between progressive rock, songwriting and electronics, influencing generations of musicians. Among his most famous songs are "My Band Plays Pop", "I'm Not Afraid", "There's Nothing to Do" and "Without a Reason". Finardi has collaborated with artists such as Francesco De Gregori, Lucio Dalla and Roberto Vecchioni, contributing to defining the Italian musical identity of that period.
