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.

En este mundo todo está bajo control
Todo
¡No!
Una aldea poblada por irreductibles galos
Resiste ahora y siempre al invasor con una poción mágica
Que los hace invencibles
El cerebro
Somos los nietos de los obreros que nunca pudisteis matar
Por eso nunca, nunca votamos para la Alianza Popular
Ni al PSOE, ni a sus traidores, ni a ninguno de los demás
Somos los nietos de los que perdieron la Guerra Civil
¡No somos nada!
¡No somos nada!
Somos los nietos de los obreros que nunca pudisteis matar
No somos punk, ni mod, ni heavy, rocker, ni skin, ni tecno
Queréis engañarnos, pero no podéis, tampoco tenemos precio
Vosotros veréis qué hacéis, nosotros ¡ya veremos!
¡No somos nada!
¡No somos nada!
Somos los nietos de los obreros que nunca pudisteis matar
Somos los nietos de los que perdieron la Guerra Civil
Somos los nietos de los obreros que nunca pudisteis matar
Somos los nietos de los que perdieron la Guerra Civil
¡No somos nada!
¡No somos nada!

The song "No Somos Nada" by La Polla Records is a political punk rock anthem that carries a message of resistance, rebellion, and anti-establishment views. The lyrics reflect a strong sense of defiance against authority and political regimes, calling out their attempts to control and manipulate the masses. The song's opening lines set the tone for the rest of the track: "Dear little friends, in this world everything is under control. Everything! No! There is a village inhabited by irreducible Gauls who resist now and always the invader with a magic potion that makes them invincible. The brain."
The song further brings to light the band's ancestry and lineage, stating that they are the grandchildren of workers who were never killed despite attempts by the ruling class to do so. They refused to vote for any of the parties including the socialist party, PSOE, and other traitors. The lyrics also outline a sense of identity and belonging that is not defined by societal labels, such as punk, mod, heavy, rocker, skin, or techno.
Overall, the song advocates for the need for solidarity and unity among the working-class individuals and calls on people to resist the attempts of those in power to categorize and manipulate them. The chorus, "We are nothing! We are nothing!" further emphasizes the message of rebellion and defiance against the established order.
