Total football


We are conductors of sound, heat and energy
And I bet that you thought you had us figured out from the start
We are conduits of clear electricity
Now you’re back on the pitch to take the apparatus apart

You’re an ancient now
You're an ancient now
You're an ancient now
On your own

Rebels, teachers
Strikers, sweepers
Better protected
Whenever collected

We are troubled by your soft curiosity
But delighted to be anti everything you were taught
Are you put off by our footloose fluidity
Have your hurt caucasian feelings left you so distraught?

Are you quite done now?
Are you quite done now?
Are you quite done now?
Not at all

Workers, authors
Poets, stoppers
Power resembled
If we are assembled

Only through those who stay awake can an institution be dismantled
It is dishonest, nay, a sin to stand for any anthem that attempts to drown out the roar of oppression

Hesse Total Football
Twombly Total Football
Tzara Total Football
Mina Total Football
Panthers Total Football
KoBrA Total Football
Dada Total Football
Beatles Total Football

Swapping parts and roles is not acting but rather emancipation from expectation
Collectivism and autonomy are not mutually exclusive
Those who find discomfort in your goals of liberation will be issued no apology
And fuck Tom Brady!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics TOTAL FOOTBALL of PARQUET COURTS is also present in the album Wide awake! (2018)

Biografia

Parquet Courts is an American alternative rock band formed in New York City in 2008. Originally consisting of Andrew Savage (vocals, guitar), Austin Brown (guitar), Sean Yeaton (bass) and Max Lerner (drums), the group has undergone several lineup changes over the years. Their music is characterized by an energetic and experimental sound, influenced by post-punk, noise rock, and lo-fi. Parquet Courts are known for their intelligent and often satirical lyrics, which tackle themes such as contemporary society, politics, and pop culture. Some of their most representative songs include "Stoned and Starving", "Wide Awake" and "Total Football". Their debut album "American Specialties" (2011) marked the beginning of their rise in the underground music scene, followed by successes like "Light Up Gold" (2012), "Sunbathing Animal" (2014) and "Human Performance" (2016). Parquet Courts have collaborated with artists such as The National and Sonic Youth.
