Si comincia così da una fotografia
fatta alla stazione in quelle macchinette,
si alza la tendina e ci si mette in posizione
con gli occhi fermi davanti alle crocette
e… ‘FLASH’, ‘FLASH’, ‘FLASH’…
trecento lire in un minuto quattro foto,
e… ‘FLASH’, ‘FLASH’, ‘FLASH’…
trecento lire in un minuto un depravato.
parlato: Peccato! Credevo di essere più luminoso. E’ colpa delle macchinette. Mi ricordo anche la Patrizia, giovane, tratti regolari, carina… ‘FLASH’, assassina! E’ così Patrizia. Si comincia così.
Davanti agli sportelli in ufficio postale
ti senti un po’ impacciato e ti guardano male,
io sono calmo, li ho contati, ne ho davanti nove,
una donna si insinua, le donne son più brave.
Io sono calmo però la controllo con l’avambraccio,
tengo duro in silenzio, lei mi odia, io la schiaccio.
Aiuto, ce l’ha fatta, s’è insinuata,
maledetta, l’avrei ammazzata.
Meno male, si sono ribellati tutti,
ci si urta, ci si spinge senza complimenti.
Sia impazziti, siamo furiosi, siamo stravolti,
è più che giusto, siamo assetati di documenti.
parlato: E tu Patrizia? Che faccia fai quando vai in un ufficio a chiedere una tessera? Ma come fai? Non ti conosco! E Mauro, il tuo Mauro che va sempre in India? L’avrà dato anche lui l’esame della patente, in macchina con l’ingegnere! Sembra impossibile eh? E che faccia avrete quando pagherete le tasse! C’è gente che non può pagare le tasse, non può fisicamente… dovrebbero pensarci!
Non importa Patrizia, ormai ce le siamo fatte le fotografie.

Ti ci abituerai, Ti ci abituerai,
si comincia sempre così, da una fotografia,
ti seguirà dovunque, l’avrai sempre presente,
fa già parte di te, non puoi buttarla via.
Non la puoi strappare, non ci riesci,
è un essere uguale a te stessa che non conosci,
e porterai a spasso un doppio di te,
una specie di morta venuta male,
con gli occhi infuori, una criminale
che non ti lascia mai.
Ti ci abituerai, Ti ci abituerai,
noi non faremo più nessuna resistenza,
noi che eravamo certi di non esser coinvolti
ora si può contare sulla nostra presenza.
Lo sai che siamo attesi alla Mutua, all’Igiene,
alle scuole, agli ospedali, ai seggi elettorali.
Lo sai che siamo attesi con le nostre carte,
coi timbri, coi fogli e registri,
coi certificati, le carte da bollo,
identificati da schede, da nastri,
siamo sommersi…
siamo dentro fino al collo…

Giorgio Gaber (pseudonym of Giorgio Gaberscik; 1937-2000) was an Italian singer-songwriter, playwright, actor, cabaret artist, guitarist and theatre director, considered one of the most important artists in Italian entertainment and music since the Second World War. Born in Milan to a family of Slovene origin, Gaber approached music at a young age, performing in Milanese venues and collaborating with some jazz musicians. In 1960 he debuted as a singer-songwriter at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Il mio nome è", achieving modest success. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Gaber established himself as one of the most original and innovative singer-songwriters on the Italian scene, characterized by committed lyrics and experimental musicality. He collaborated with various artists, including Enzo Jannacci and Gino Paoli, and participated in numerous music festivals. Among his most representative songs are "La canzone del sole", "Il mio amico", "L'uomo che non c'è" and "Non ho paura". Gaber also dedicated himself to theatre direction, staging both his own works and those of other authors. His artistic career was marked by a strong social and political commitment, expressed through his songs and theatrical performances. Giorgio Gaber died in Milan in 2000 at the age of 63.
