In 1991 a court prohibited to the band the use of the full name due to a dispute with a former sound technician expelled from the band, but ignoring the sentence they published "Bajo presión" (Under pressure), their last album as LPR. Finally, in 1996 the band changes their name, making 'La Polla' alone. In September 2002 dies Fernandito (drumer), and they pubish their last album 'El ultimo (el) de La Polla' in 2003, having published 1 EP and 16 LPs. Evaristo (composer, singer and writer) continues raising his voice against nearly everything, with irony and good punk rock, with his new band Gatillazo.
Cancer
La Polla Records Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¡Cáncer de pulmón!
¡Cáncer de músculos!
¡Cáncer de médula espinal!
Vuestros negocios con la radiactividad
llegan a nosotros como una enfermedad
Paz nuclear, guerra sin declarar
¡Cáncer de higado!
¡Cáncer de pulmón!
¡Cáncer de músculos!
¡Cáncer de médula espinal!
The lyrics to La Polla Records's song "Cancer" speak to the harmful effects of radiation and the devastating impact it can have on the human body. The repetition of the phrases "cancer de higado, cancer de pulmon, cancer de musculos, cancer de medula espinal" creates a sense of urgency and emphasizes the pervasiveness of the disease. The opening lines suggest that the spread of cancer is linked to businesses dealing with radiation, implying a critique of the nuclear energy industry and its negative impact on health.
The following lyrics, "llegan a nosotros como una enfermedad, paz nuclear, guerra sin declarar, paz a los hombres de buena voluntad," can be interpreted as a call for peace and an end to using radiation as a weapon or a tool for energy production. The juxtaposition of the phrases "paz nuclear" (nuclear peace) and "guerra sin declarar" (undeclared war) creates an ironic tone and implies that the pursuit of nuclear energy has not brought true peace but rather has led to a covert war against individual health and environmental well-being.
Overall, the lyrics to "Cancer" serve as a political message warning about the dangers of radiation and calling for a more peaceful and sustainable society.
