Gangsters

The Specials

Transposer:

[Intro:] Bernie Rhodes knows; don't argue! Why must you record my phone calls? Are you planning a bootleg L-P? Said you've been threatened by gangsters; Now it's you that's threatening me. Can't fight cor-ruption with con tricks, They use the law to commit crime. And I dread, dread to think, What the future will bring, When we're living in gangster time. Don't call me scar face! [Solo:] (x3), Can't inter-rupt while I'm talking, Or they'll confiscate all your gui-tars, And catch 22 says, if I sing the truth; They won't make me an overnight star. Don't offer us legal pro-tection, They use the law to commit crime. And I dread, dread to think, What the future will bring, When we're living in gangster time. (Bernie Rhodes knows; don't argue!)

Cette chanson aborde les tensions entre l'industrie musicale et les menaces qui pèsent sur elle, évoquant des pressions extérieures et une législation qui semble davantage servir les intérêts du crime organisé que ceux des artistes. Le narrateur exprime une profonde inquiétude pour l'avenir, en soulignant que la lutte contre la corruption est entravée par des manipulations légales. Il dépeint un climat où la vérité est mise en péril et où les artistes doivent naviguer dans un monde souvent hostile, rendant difficile l'émergence de leur talent ou de leur message authentique.
