Shock
Ana Tijoux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tus discursos incoloros
No ves que no estamos solos
¡Millones de polo a polo!
Al son de un solo coro
Marcharemos con el tono
Con la convicción
Que basta de robo
Tu estado de control
Tu trono podrido de oro
Tu política y tu riqueza
Y tu tesoro no
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No permitiremos más, más, tu doctrina del shock
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No hay países solo corporaciones
Quien tiene más, más, más acciones
Trozos gordos, poderosos, decisiones por muy pocos
Constitución pinochetista
Derecho opus dei, lado fascista
Golpista disfrazado de un indulto elitista
Cae la gota, cae la bolsa
La toma se toma la maquina rota
La calle no calla, la calle se raya
La calle no calla, debate que estalla
Todo lo quitan, todo lo venden
Todo se lucra, la vida, la muerte
Todo es negocio, bajo tu toldo
Semilla, pascuala, métodos y coros
Venenos tus monólogos
Tus discursos incoloros
No ves que no estamos solos
Millones de polo a polo
Al son de un solo coro
Marcharemos con el tono
Con la convicción
Que basta de robo
Tu estado de control
Tu trono podrido de oro
Tu política y tu riqueza
Y tu tesoro no
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No permitiremos más, más, tu doctrina del shock
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso
Con las ganas y el aliento
Con cenizas, con el fuego
Del presente con recuerdo
Con certeza y con desgarro
Con el objetivo claro
Con memoria y con la historia
El futuro es ahora
Todo este tubo de ensayo
Todo este laboratorio que a diario
Todo este fallo
Todo este económico modelo condenado de dinosaurio
Todo se criminaliza
Todo se justifica en la noticia
Todo se quita, todo se pisa
Todo se ficha y clasifica
Pero
Tu política y tu táctica
Tu típica risa y ética
Tu comunicado manipulado
¿Cuántos fueron los callados?
Pacos, guanacos y lumas
Pacos, guanacos y tunas
Pacos, guanacos no suman
¿Cuántos fueron los que se robaron las fortunas?
Venenos tus monólogos
Tus discursos incoloros
No ves que no estamos solos
¡Millones de polo a polo!
Al son de un solo coro
Marcharemos con el tono
Con la convicción
Que basta de robo
Tu estado de control
Tu trono podrido de oro
Tu política y tu riqueza
Y tu tesoro no
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No permitiremos más, más, tu doctrina del shock
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
The song "Shock" by Ana Tijoux speaks out against the systemic oppression and inequality present in society, particularly in Chile where the artist is from. The lyrics critique the ruling elites and the power structures they create to maintain control over the masses. The line "No hay países solo corporaciones" translates to "there are no countries, only corporations," pointing out how corporate greed and interests often supersede the needs and desires of the people.
Tijoux also references the "doctrina del shock," or "shock doctrine," which is a theory created by journalist Naomi Klein that explains how governments and corporations use the shock of disasters or crises to push through unpopular policies or agendas that people would not otherwise support. The song calls for people to unite and resist this doctrine, to not be afraid to speak out against the injustices they face, and to demand accountability from those in power.
Throughout the song, Tijoux uses strong imagery and metaphors to convey her message. The lines "caí la gota, caí la bolsa" (the drop falls, the bag falls) symbolize how small actions can lead to a bigger movement, while "golpe a golpe, verso a verso" (blow by blow, line by line) highlights the power of words and art to inspire change. Overall, "Shock" is a call to action for people to come together and fight for a more just and equitable world.

Venom: your monologues,
your colorless speeches,
you don't see that we AREN'T alone,
millions from pole to pole!
To the sound of a single chorus,
we will march with the tone,
with the conviction that THE THIEVING STOPS!!
Your state of control,
your corrupt throne of gold,
your politics and your wealth,
and your treasure, no.
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
We will allow NO MORE, no more your doctrine of shock
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
NO nations, only corporations,
who has more, more actions,
fat slices, powerful decisions for very little.
Pinochetan^ constitution,
opus dei rights, fascist books.
Guerilla disguised as a pardoned elitist,
the drop falls, the stocks fall, the occupation takes the broken machine.
the street doesn't keep quiet, the street scratches
the street doesn't keep quiet, as wide as it is.
They take everything, sell everything,
make a profit from everything, life, death,
it's all business.
I eat you all, seed, (pascuala?), methods and choruses.
Venom: your monologues,
your colorless speeches,
you don't see that we AREN'T alone,
millions from pole to pole!!
To the sound of a single chorus,
we will march with the tone,
with the conviction that THE THIEVING STOPS!!
Your state of control,
your corrupt throne of gold,
your politics and your wealth,
and your treasure, no.
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
We will allow NO MORE, no more your doctrine of shock
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
(Some people talk.)
Hit for hit, kiss for kiss,
with wishes and nourishment
with ashes, with the fire of the present, remembering,
with certainty and ripping, with the clear objetive,
with memory and with the history of the future, it's NOW!
Everything: this trial tube,
everything: this daily laboratory,
everything: this failure, everything: this condemned economic model from dinosaur times.
Everything is criminalized, everything is justified in the news,
they get rid of everything, walk all over everything, open a file on everything and classify it.
But...your politics and your tactics,
your typical smile and ethics.
Your manipulated communiqué
How many of them were silenced?
Cops, hoses and lumas*,
cops, hoses and tunas**,
cops, hoses, DON'T ADD UP.
How many were those who stole the fortunes?
Venom: your monologues,
your colorless speeches,
you don't see that we AREN'T alone,
millions from pole to pole!!
To the sound of a single chorus,
we will march with the tone,
with the conviction that THE THIEVING STOPS!!
Your state of control,
your corrupt throne of gold,
your politics and your wealth,
and your treasure, no.
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
We will allow NO MORE, no more your doctrine of shock
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck (doctrine of shock)
The hour has struck, the hour has struck
