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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soy una mujer
Limpio el polvo de mi vida
Que no me deja ver
Sé que sufro para nada
Y mi sombra vive presa
De muchos porqués
Esclava de mi casa
Lavo, friego, limpio y abrillanto
Curro mucho, pero aunque me canso
Cada noche debo ser
¡Prostituta por deber!
No soy nada, yo no pienso
Y no estoy aquí
De política no entiendo
Total, ¿qué?
A unos pelos en el pecho
He de obedecer
Y una chorra y dos pelotas
Tienen el poder
¿Quién, quién sabrá porque vivo así?
Debajo de un imbécil
No, no, no quiero mas miedo
Pero el buen Dios
Y así me lo enseñaron
Aunque no quise hizo de mí
¡Prostituta por deber!
Yo, yo sufro de los nervios
Y tomo muchas clases de pastillas
Y en mis sueños creo ser
¡Prostituta por deber!
Soy la fábrica de carne
Mis hijos son del estado
Y soy una (prostituta)
Y soy una (prostituta)
Y soy una (prostituta)
No puedo elegir, ¡jah!
The opening lines of this song describe a woman who is 39 years old and feeling overwhelmed by her domestic duties. She feels as though she is constantly cleaning and struggling to see beyond the mundane obligations of her life. She acknowledges that she suffers for no reason and is haunted by questions with no answers. She wonders if anyone truly understands why she lives the way she does.
The song then takes a darker turn as the woman reveals that she is also obligated to work as a prostitute. Despite her exhaustion from her domestic duties, she must continue to work late into the night. She feels as though she is trapped and has no choice but to obey the men who have power over her. She questions who truly understands why she lives this way and is left feeling like she has no control over her own life.
This song sheds light on the struggles that many women face, especially those who are trapped by societal expectations and expectations of others. It calls for a change in the system that oppresses women and asks for more empathy and understanding. It is a powerful expression of the need for women's liberation.
