«I saw myself
betting on the market
I was evicted
what the hell am i doing here
I saw myself
Proletarian and avant-garde
To the jet set of artists
And in the middle I got lost
I saw myself
sad and so disappointed
Today that I know that both sides
They took advantage of me.”
Says a fragment of the lyrics of this song.
Beyond confronting the left and the right (such a topical issue in Latin America), this song talks about what happens to many of us, that at some stage in our lives we defend certain ideals that we really believe in, which we forget as we take on responsibilities and begin to play the cruel game of capitalism.
