para vivir alegre y contento eskorbuto al parlamento
ya no quedan mas cojones eskorbuto a las elecciones
para vivir alegre y contento eskorbuto al parlamento
ya no quedan mas cojones eskorbuto a las elecciones
para vivir alegre y contento eskorbuto al parlamento
vota que promete y promete y te lo mete
ya no quedan mas cojones eskorbuto a las elecciones
en cloacas existen ratas de dos patas con cojones de corbata
para vivir alegre y contento eskorbuto al parlamento
ahora los chicos de las calles solo piensan en casarse
el punk a muerto, viva el punk vivo o muerto
el punk a muerto, viva el punk vivo o muerto
ya no quedan mas cojones eskorbuto a las elecciones
vota con cojones, vota sobre sus cabezas
para vivir alegre y contento eskorbuto al parlamento
nuevas normas se han declarado, ni mas ni mas dios y mucho sexo
el punk a muerto, viva el punk vivo o muerto
el punk a muerto, viva el punk vivo o muerto
joder, joder, joder, joder, joder
joder, joder, joder, todo lo bien
joder, joder, joder, joder, joder
joder, joder, joder, todo lo bien
ya no quedan mas cojones
ya no quedan mas cojones
ya no quedan mas cojones
ya no quedan mas cojones
ya no quedan mas cojones
ya no quedan mas cojones
ya no quedan mas cojones eskorbuto a las elecciones.
The lyrics of Eskorbuto's song "Ya No Quedan Mas Cojones" are a poignant commentary on the state of politics and society in Spain at the time of its writing. The title itself translates to "There are no more balls," referring to the lack of courage and agency among the populace in the face of corrupt and inept leaders. The repetition of the line "Eskorbuto a las elecciones" emphasizes the band's call to action for people to participate in the political process, even if it seems futile and rigged by those in power.
The song goes on to criticize politicians who make empty promises and deceive their constituents in order to further their own interests. The line "en cloacas existen ratas de dos patas con cojones de corbata" is particularly scathing, describing politicians as sewer rats in suits with false bravery.
The chorus of "el punk a muerto, viva el punk vivo o muerto" is a nod to the band's punk roots and rebellion against mainstream society. Despite the cynicism and frustration expressed in the lyrics, there is still a defiant spirit that refuses to be silenced or complacent.
Overall, "Ya No Quedan Mas Cojones" is a powerful and relevant song that speaks to the disillusionment many feel towards the political system and the need to stand up and fight for change.
