Amèrica
La Gossa Sorda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many banks? How many bombs?
How much more xuleria contra els pobles del món?
La via de l'imperi m'infecta la vista
Manhatan, Tel-Aviv,
Miami, Wall Street.

How many banks? How many bombs?
Quanta arrogància absurda dels falcons neocon.

USA Attacks via satèl·lit.
I Osama assoma el cul
Osama-Obama-Bush.

L'Amèrica atòmic a punt d'explotar
un núvol de preguntes envaeix la ciutat
How many bans? How many bombs?

God bless America iee iee
God save America iee iee
God bless America

How many banks? How many bombs?
Aquell bomber piròmen disfressat de cowboy
cremava la pantalla aquell matí de setembre.
Teatre de la por, comença la funció

Quí va pagar? Qui va Callar?
Escolta Heavy Metal i dispara a matar
esmola el ganivet del Carnisser sionista
i vomita sobre el món mentides de colors.

L'Amèrica atòmica a punt d'explotar
un núvol de preguntes envaeix la ciutat
How many banks? How many Bombs?

God bless America iee iee
God save America iee iee

Que el vostre déu vos salve de la fúria de la plebe
de la nova Amèrika iee iee.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Gossa Sorda's song "Amèrica" address the question of how much destruction and control the United States has over the world through their banks and military actions. The repetition of "how many banks, how many bombs" is a direct indictment of the American government's use of their economic and military power to exert their influence over other nations. The song questions the absurd arrogance of neoconservative hawks who use their military might to intervene in conflicts across the globe.

The reference to different cities such as Manhattan, Tel-Aviv, Miami, and Wall Street illustrates the global reach of American power. The line "USA Attacks via satèl·lit" alludes to the use of technology and espionage to maintain their position at the forefront of modern warfare. The song doesn't hesitate to call out political leaders and public figures, such as Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush.
