Trivia

A super-angry hardcore/thrash song about the dysfunctions of the italian state, especially the lazy-as-fuck public employees (usually put there for personal favors with rigged contests) who suck off our tax money and public debt, while most other people are still starving, lacking any decent welfare.

This is NOT a libertarian/pro-privatization anthem (despite the inclusion of a sample from politician Oscar Giannino for pure meme/comedy value): I don't think our public services should be privatized at all, I just think our resources should be better located, and lazy public employees should be fired instead of being cuddled by a dormant state where nepotism remains the only way to economic stability.

Lyrics

"Italians! Since the unification of your country, all we've witnessed from your history has been a constant display of backwardness, simple-mindedness, parasitism, disfunctionality, and worship of strong corrupt men in charge! It's time to put an end to this pile of shit!"

Here's a message to the italian citizens

Who still believe to be at the center of the world

We don't give a shit about your public workplace

Provided for you by your uncle

Is this a valid substitute for a good welfare program

To fight poverty and create prosperity?

Guess what, you're wrong, you parasite fuckers

You deserve to be homeless instead

The italian system has failed

Abandon all ships - THIS STATE SUCKS

Let's take inspiration from the winners

Like the nordic countries, 'cause THIS STATE SUCKS

Public services shouldn't harm meritocracy

We just have no balance - THIS STATE SUCKS

Remove and replace our crippled public system

Cut all the crap 'cause THIS STATE SUCKS

Lots of money wasted on obsolete services

Poverty still reigns all around

Public employees do nothing all day

Punch in, then run away

What's the problem? They all do that

Protecting each other like brothers

Vote for the big man, he'll find you a job

Just one mile away from your home

The italian system has failed

Abandon all ships - THIS STATE SUCKS

Let's take inspiration from the winners

Like the nordic countries, 'cause THIS STATE SUCKS

Public services shouldn't harm meritocracy

We just have no balance - THIS STATE SUCKS

Remove and replace our crippled public system

Cut all the crap 'cause THIS STATE SUCKS

That's just our mentality, it's never gonna change

Corruption, little favors all around

Don't touch my job, then I'll just complain

That no one ever works seriously

We reject standards, we reject merit,

We built our safespace with public debt

Any other solution that's already applied

In other countries is anathema to us

The italian system has failed

Abandon all ships - THIS STATE SUCKS

Let's take inspiration from the winners

Like the nordic countries, 'cause THIS STATE SUCKS

Public services shouldn't harm meritocracy

We just have no balance - THIS STATE SUCKS

Remove and replace our crippled public system

Cut all the crap 'cause THIS STATE SUCKS

THIS STATE SUCKS (x3)

DIE, FUCKING ASSHOLES
