After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

Como Me Pongo
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cómo me pongo, sin que salga en la tele
cómo me pongo, siempre dando la brasa
cómo me pongo, hipocresÃa en casa
¡eh!, mÃrale, este personajillo
organiza movidas contra la drogadicción
mÃrale, un yonky reprimido
CÃ?MO ME PONGO...
Ven, únete contra la hipocresÃa
de los malditos slogans que salen en televisión
di que no, el problema de la droga
son las rentas de su prohibición
CÃ?MO ME PONGO...
¡ah! a mà no me engañarás
¡ah! te siento mentir
¡ah! tu mandÃbula es un volcán
PolÃticos, artistas, ingenieros de sonido,
Militares, periodistas, hasta el clero está metido
Saquemos algo en claro de esta mierda de canción
NO A LA PROHIBICIÃ?N
The lyrics of Ska-P's song Como Me Pongo talks about how people behave hypocritically when it comes to drugs and drug addiction. It starts by questioning how to behave without anyone noticing, without it being shown on television, and always complaining about hypocrisy at home. The song then mentions a person who is organizing events against drug addiction but is a repressed drug addict himself. The chorus repeats the phrase "cómo me pongo," which roughly translates to "how am I supposed to act." The song encourages people to unite against hypocrisy and reject the anti-drug slogans shown on TV. It points out that the problem with drug addiction is the prohibition of drugs and the profits made from this prohibition.
The last part of the song mentions various professions, including politicians, military personnel, journalists, and even the clergy, who are all involved in the drug trade in one way or another. The song concludes by stating that something needs to be done about the terrible situation and stating their opposition to drug prohibition.
The song is a commentary on how society deals with the issue of drug addiction and how it raises awareness about the realities of drug addiction. The lyrics criticize the hypocrisy of people who claim to be fighting against drug addiction while secretly being drug addicts themselves. The song also brings attention to the profits generated by drug prohibition, making a statement against the criminalization of drug use.
