1a canzone al giorno

Con i Killers nella terra dei liberi

Ci siamo. Stasera inizia Sanremo e da domenica prossima partirà la serie festivaliera anche se ci sta che qualcosina (anche dei giovani) qualcosa arrivi già prima. Nel frattempo la canzone del giorno è anglofona. Nuovo singolo per i The Killers che nel 2009 hanno spopolato con "Human". Il nuovo brano è "Land of the free" con un regista d'eccezione per il video, Spike Lee. Buon ascolto e buon Festival. A domani!

Land of the free (The Killers)

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers & Choir] 
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face 
It's just the old man in me 
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station 
In the land of the free (Ooh) 
His mother, Adeline's family, came on a ship 
Cut coal and planted a seed 
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania 
In the land of the free

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers] 
Land of the free, land of the free 
In the land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
In the land of the free 
(I'm standing crying)

[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers & Choir] 
When I go out in my car, I don't think twice 
But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing, crying) 
You grow up looking over both your shoulders 
In the land of the free 
And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world 
Right here in red, white and blue (I'm standing, crying) 
Incarceration's become big business 
It's harvest time out on the avenue

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers] 
Land of the free, land of the free 
In the land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
Move on there's nothing to see 
Land of the free, land of the free 
In the land of the free

[Bridge: Choir] 
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh 
I'm standing, crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh) 
I'm standing, crying

[Verse 3: Brandon Flowers & Choir] 
So how many daughters, tell me, how many sons 
Do we have to have to put in the ground 
Before we just break down and face it: 
We got a problem with guns? (Oh-oh-oh-oh) 
In the land of the free 
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall 
Concrete and Rebar Steel beams (I'm standing, crying) 
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off 
Of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing, crying) 
People who just want the same things we do 
In the land of the free

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers] 
Land of the free, land of the free 
In the land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
In the land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
Land of the free, land of the free 
In the land of the free (I'm standing, crying)
