We want the airwaves back. Ese es el grito de guerra, para todos los que no escuchamos música en la radio, para los que no queremos que nos digan lo que debemos escuchar, sino lo que queremos escuchar, no queremos Madonna’s con conciertos plásticos, con álbumes donde los singles aparecen como islas en un mar de canciones que nunca pasaran a la historia, sino que queremos los Goldfinger’s donde cualquier canción puede ser tu favorita. No queremos LUN ni EMOL, queremos Germenterror y el Salón del Mal. No queremos ropa de marca, queremos Asunto Polera.

Pero, ¿valdra la pena?, cuanto tenemos de que Tila Tequila se hace famosa en myspace y se gana un reality, o cuantas bandas malas que ahora tienen acceso a todo fácil sacan música mas desechable que antes, o incluso, que ignorantes como yo se sientan con autoridad para hablar de música y les impongan lo que deben escuchar. ¿Sabe el publico lo que quiere? Alan Moore dice:

It is not the job of the artists to give the audience what the audience wants
If the audience knew what they needed
Then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artist
It is the job of the artist to give what the audience need

Liberation Frequency – Refused

Letra

It’s coming through the air for all of us to hear
Could it be the sounds of liberation or just the image of detention?
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We don’t just want airtime
We want all the time all of the time
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We don’t just want transmission
We want…

What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet music?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency will liberation be?

It’s coming through the air for all of us to hear
Could it be the sounds of liberation or just the image of detention?
Control my flower, business, news, all ready to devour
Who’s in charge and what does he say?
Is he playing the alternative or does it sound the same old way?
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We want transmission for the people
We need…

We wanted everything
We needed everything
We needed everything

What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet music?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?
What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet, sweet, sw-sweet?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?

We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We don’t just want airtime
We want all the time all of the time

What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet music?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency will liberation be?
What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet, sweet?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?

We got more comin’ right now
There’s more coming
We’re gonna get, gonna get a little sort of a session goin’ here
A bit of a session
A session that will feature the rhythm section
