"I bambini sanno usare i computer ora che stanno
Licenziando i loro padri perché non li sanno ancora usare"




Overall Meaning

The above lyrics from Samuele Bersani's song Figlio Unico '72 reflect on the rapid technological advancements and the impact they have on society. The first line acknowledges that children are now adept at using computers, highlighting the ease with which the younger generation adapts to technology. However, the second line indicates the harsh reality of this, where the children are firing their fathers from work for not being able to keep up with the changing times. This creates a sense of displacement and loss, as the older generation struggles to keep up with the pace of progress.


The lyrics could also be interpreted as a comment on the wider societal issue of ageism in the workplace. The fact that the children are able to replace their fathers is a reflection of the ruthless nature of the capitalist system, where those who are unable to adapt are left behind. The song highlights the tension between the older and younger generations, and the difficulty in bridging the gap between them.
