L'uomo occidentale


Sono l’uomo occidentale nella classica accezione
cioè nel senso che so bene che so bene cosa fare
e so fare molto bene tutto quello che mi pare
e nel senso che d’estate vado quasi sempre al mare
e d’inverno e d’inverno e d’inverno sulla neve.

Sono l’uomo occidentale e il concetto è elementare
e comporta anche il dovere di pensare a mantenere
senza orgoglio e presunzione l’equilibrio mondiale
e per questo ho il mio daffare
perché è un obbligo morale
e mi accollo l’incombenza
qui nel più alto gradino
si nel più alto gradino della civilizzazione.

Sono l’uomo occidentale ed ho l’onere e l’onore
di vedere e provvedere destreggiarmi come posso
nel mio ruolo di paciere
e chi non vuole ascoltare
io lo devo allineare
e mi devo adeguare alla logica del male
per potere garantire una sana convivenza
sul pianeta in questione.

Se pensate di sapere se c’è un’altra soluzione
sventolate i gagliardetti alla manifestazione
fate un cenno almeno un cenno
solo un cenno di adesione
io per quanto mi riguarda voglio a tutti molto bene.

Sono l’uomo occidentale nella classica accezione
e ripeto e ribadisco
anche in modo maniacale
che in barba alle apparenze
qui va tutto a gonfie vele!...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
