Bentornato Prince


Il prossimo 30 luglio uscirà "Welcome 2 America" l'album postumo di Prince. Il buon Rogers Nelson ci ha lasciato prematuramente quasi 5 anni fa esatti. In questi giorni è uscito il singolo di lancio che ha lo stesso titolo del singolo. Credo che la cosa farà felice Vincent che negli anni ottanta collezionava i suoi vinili (ma il Black Album te l'ho regalato io....). Buon ascolto anche a voi!!!Welcome 2 America (Prince)[Intro]Welcome[Verse 1]Welcome to AmericaWhere you can fail at your jobGet fired, rehiredRehired and get a seven-hundred billion dollar tip(Come on in, sit right down, and fill up your pockets, yeah)Mass-media, information overloadWelcome to America(The following message brought to you by Datacom)Distracted by the features of the iPhone(Got an application for each of situation)In other words, taken by a pretty face(Somebody’s watching you)(I see you, I see you)Welcome to AmericaHook up later at the iPadWe can me at my place[Chorus]Welcome to AmericaWelcome to AmericaWelcome to America[Verse 2]Where everything and nothing that Google says is hip(The sales tax for the following items will be raised immediately: cigarettes, soda, gas)We will not raise your taxesRead our lips[Chorus]Welcome to America (America)Welcome to the big show (to America)Everybody’s looking for somethingWhen there ain’t no place to go(Welcome to America)Except inside America (America)That’s the only place I know (to America)Transformation happens deep within: yes or no?Yes[Verse 3]Welcome to AmericaOne of our greatest exports was a thing called jazzYou think today’s music will last?(Dismantle all monopoliesDismantle all monopolies)Welcome to AmericaWelcomeHope and change, everything takes foreverAnd truth is a new minority (truth)Oh, welcome to AmericaWelcome to America[Interlude]Today we’d like to discuss America’s plan to fix the educational systemThe pledge of allegiance will now read as follows:I pledge allegiance to the earth of the United States of the UniverseWelcome to America[Verse 4]There is no arguing with the book(When am I gonna learn something new?)There is no arguing with the book(Who’s gonna teach it to me, you?)There is no arguing with the book(What’s that outside my window sill?)There is no (could it be?) arguing (our free will?)You say yes, I say no, yet love flows[Interlude]America can provide many opportunities for the young female who wishes to work (for the state)For her own advancement up from the underclass to become one[Verse 5]Welcome to AmericaGo to school to become a celebrity(F.A.M.O.U.S.)But don’t be lateAnd everybody and they mama got a sex tapeWelcome to AmericaWe snatch bass players, not pursesKeep playing, it gets worseLand of the free, home of the braveOops, I meanLand of the free, home of the slaveGet down on your knees, hit me[Chorus]Welcome to AmericaWelcome to the big showEverybody’s looking for somethingWhen there ain’t no place to goExcept inside AmericaThat’s the only place I knowTransformation happens deep within: yes or no?
