Italian Lyrics :
Essere o dover essere
Il dubbio amletico
Contemporaneo come l’uomo del neolitico
Nella tua gabbia 2×3 mettiti comodo
Intellettuali nei caffè
Internettologi
Soci onorari al gruppo dei selfisti anonimi
L’intelligenza è démodé
Risposte facili
Dilemmi inutili
AAA cercasi storie dal gran finale,
Sperasi
Comunque vada, panta rei
And “Singing in the rain”
Lezioni di Nirvana
C’è il Buddha in fila indiana
Per tutti un’ora d’aria, di gloria (ale!)
La folla grida un mantra
L’evoluzione inciampa
La scimmia nuda balla
Occidentali’s karma
Occidentali’s karma
La scimmia nuda balla
Occidentali’s karma
Piovono gocce di Chanel
Su corpi asettici
Mettiti in salvo dall’odore dei tuoi simili
Tutti tuttologi col web
Coca dei popoli
Oppio dei poveri
AAA cercasi umanità virtuale
Sex appeal
Comunque vada, panta rei
And “Singing in the rain”
Lezioni di Nirvana
C’è il Buddha in fila indiana
Per tutti un’ora d’aria, di gloria (ale!)
La folla grida un mantra
L’evoluzione inciampa
La scimmia nuda balla
Occidentali’s karma
Occidentali’s karma
La scimmia nuda balla
Occidentali’s karma
Quando la vita si distrae
Cadono gli uomini
Occidentali’s karma
Occidentali’s karma
La scimmia si rialza
Namaste, ale!
Lezioni di Nirvana
C’è il Buddha in fila indiana
Per tutti un’ora d’aria, di gloria (ale!)
La folla grida un mantra
L’evoluzione inciampa
La scimmia nuda balla
Occidentali’s karma
Occidentali’s karma
La scimmia nuda balla
Occidentali’s karma
Om
English lyrics :
Translated
Westerners' karma
To Be ought to be
The Hamlet-like doubt
As contemporary as Neolithic man
Intelligence is démodé
Easy answers
Useless dilemmas
Wanted:
Tales with a grand finale
We hope
(Hope,yes!)
Whatever happens, panta rhei
And "Singing the the Rain"
Nirvana lessons
There's Buddha in single line
Yard time for everyone,
Their time of fame!
(Allez!)
The crowd chants a mantra
Evolution is stumbling
The naked ape is dancing
Westerners' karma
×2
Wanted:
Virtual humanity
Sex appeal
(Sex appeal)
Whatever happens, panta rhei
And "Singing in The Rain"
Nirvana lessons
There's Buddha in single line
Yard time for everyone,
Their time of fame!
(Allez!)
The crowd chants a mantra
Evolution is stumbling
The naked ape is dancing
Westerners' karma
×2
When life leses focus
Men fall
Westerners' karma
×2
The ape rises
Namaste,
Allez
Nirvana lessons
There's Buddha in single line
Yard time for everyone,
Their time of time!
(Allez!)
The crowd chants a mantra
Evolution is stumbling
The naked ape is dancing
Westerners' karma
