We are those kids who never gave up Those who grew up as flowers among trash It wasn’t easy to be a misfit But we found freedom in the underground. We are those who will always stay rude and rebel, always against the grain Don’t try to change us, you simply can’t you can despise us but we don’t give a damn! This sick society we reject!!! Join the uprising!!! Sewer Brigade!!! We are hard workers who love to conspire, protests and riots, and shows in squats. We hate authority and uniforms better get ready because we are getting close!

There's a cloud always on our side bad luck is so proper of our class no opportunities, no many hopes for humble fellas in the dole. Protests and strikes seem no longer work but before frustation we'd rather die No matter what they say, we'll keep our way side by side we'll fight with pride We don't have nothing else to do but resist and make some noise We got too many scars and broken bones but our spirits stand strong until the end There's no room for dreams in our neighbourhoods nor for politicians and their lies We are not alone, we got each other Don't let them take solidarity from us Hay una nube siempre en nuestro lado la mala suerte es tan propia de los de nuestra clase no hay oportunidades, no hay muchas esperanzas para los tipos humildes en el paro. Protestas y huelgas parecen que ya no funcionan pero antes que la frustración preferimos morir No importa lo que digan, seguiremos nuestro camino lado al lado lucharemos con orgullo No tenemos nada mejor que hacer que resistir y hacer algo de ruido Tenemos demasiadas cicatrices y huesos rotos pero nuestros espíritus se mantienen fuertes hasta el final No hay espacio para los sueños en nuestros barrios ni para politicuchos y sus mentiras No estamos solos, nos tenemos los unos a los otros no dejemos que nos arranquen la solidaridad.

Well I'm not from here Neither from there Don't need a country to be proud of who I 'm Don't need to hide my fears through prejudice As cowards do while flying their flags I hear their bullshit but my head stays up Nothing they can say make me to step me back 'cause I stay true to myself Despite their hate I'm not afraid I will remain True to myself So many times I have to listen stupid axioms based on race when that happens I think about my roots then I remember why I wear these boots Bien, no soy de aquí tampoco de allí No necesito un país para estar orgulloso de quién soy No necesito esconder mis miedos a través de prejuicios como hacen los cobardes mientras ondean sus banderas Escucho sus tontadas pero mi cabeza se mantiene alta Nada de lo que puedan decir o hacer me echará para atrás porque me mantengo honesto conmigo mismo. A pesar de su odio no tengo miedo Permaneceré Honesto conmigo mismo Tantas veces tengo que escuchar Axiomas estúpidos basados en la raza cuando pasa pienso en mis raíces y recuerdo por qué llevo estas botas.

Otra noche en la ciudad a las 6 de la tarde, te pasaré a buscar quién sabe cómo acabará con los colegas todo puede pasar Otra noche en la ciudad buscas un amor, que nunca encontrarás bébete otra que más da por la mañana la resaca te acompañará Broncas y botellas forjaron nuestra amistad y a pesar de todo nunca vas a renegar espero verte allí, bailando una vez más otra noche en la ciudad Otra noche en la ciudad no sabes cómo, pero has vuelto a pelear puños fuera una vez más las sirenas señalan el momento de najar Otra noche en la ciudad bolsillos vacíos camino del hogar cantando como un hooligan viejas canciones de guerra y libertad Broncas y botellas forjaron nuestra amistad y a pesar de todo nunca vas a renegar espero verte allí, bailando un Ska otra noche en la ciudad

Another friend is forever gone leaving a void in our souls Those who knew you can't help to mourn your loss Today the world seems even worse So hard to accept No way to understand why life is so unfair, so unfair Can be sure we'll never forget you Go in peace, we'll never forget you we'll never forget you we'll never forget you So hard to accept No way to understand My chest's full of pain, full of pain Don't ask me why 'cause I don't know but I want to raise my glass I won't forget their smiles and strenght so this one goes for them Don't ask me why 'cause I don't know there are tears on my face But raise your glass this round's for them for those friends we'll never forget ------------------------------------------------ Otrx amigx que se ha ido para siempre dejando un vacio en nuestras almas Lxs que te conocimos no podemos evitar llorar tu pérdida hoy el mundo parece incluso peor tan difícil aceptar no hay manera de entender porque la vida es tan injusta Puedes estar segurx que nunca te olvidaremos Vete en paz, nunca te olvidaremos nunca te olvidaremos nunca te olvidaremos Tan difícil de aceptar No hay manera de entender Mi pecho está lleno de dolor, de dolor No me preguntes por qué porque no lo sé pero quiero levantar mi vaso No olvidaré sus sonrisas y su fuerza así que esta va por ellxs No me preguntes por qué porque no lo sé hay lágrimas en mi cara Pero levantad vuestros vasos esta ronda va por ellos por esxs amigxs que nunca olvidaremos.

Oi mate, what's the matter with you? I see grieve in your face You can keep your mouth shut but your silence sounds like hell I've been through shit too , I know how it feels sometimes life's a bitch, that's part of the wicked game Groovy times are just ahead and who knows for how long But you have to resist so if you need it lean on me I know how it feels to lose your love and hope But you have to resist so if you need it lean on me There are no shortcuts to glory, you better don't forget Don't stop, watch your step and keep on being brave There are no shortcuts to glory, we know we'll never get there but through these uncertain paths by your side I'll stand Groovy times are just ahead and who knows for how long But you have to resist so if you need it lean on me I know how it feels to lose your love and hope But you have to resist so if you need it lean on me There are no shortcuts to glory, There are no shortcuts to glory, Sometimes it seems it's a dusty road that takes us for miles and miles under a boiling sun I don't know where it takes but I'm gonna make that trip the way is paved by smiles and tears, dreams and memories,

When all the old false idols fall When all the priests have convinced us all: "God is dead, there's no divine fate" there's still a card to play... Forty years later and the picture looks the same new saviors are now players of the game New hope for people, but the old policemen Eternal recurrence, there is no end When politicians are mean and corrupt a new sun rises to stop this evil conduct Regeneration of Democracy? Another trick to keep the same old schemes 40 years later and the picture looks the same new saviors are now players of the game New hope for people, but the old policemen Eternal recurrence, there is no end

El viento sopla congelando la ciudad no quedan refugios dónde escapar caminas dando tumbos sin una dirección darías la vuelta pero no hay ninguna opción La inocencia, la ilusión, quedaron atrás - No hay vuelta atrás No puedes negarlo, no vas a cambiar - No hay vuelta atrás Los ángeles caídos nunca vuelven a volar Tu vieja radio escupía sin parar canciones que advertían lo que estaba por llegar Sabías que no hay futuro pero querías soñar ¿Quién alguna vez no se dejó llevar? La inocencia, la ilusión, quedaron atrás - No hay vuelta atrás No puedes negarlo, no vas a cambiar - No hay vuelta atrás Los ángeles caídos nunca vuelven a volar Falsas esperanzas trajeron la decepción pero queda en pie tu orgullo de perdedor Ya nada importa, nunca volverás atrás has quemado tus naves para nunca regresar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The wind blows freezing the town There are no subterfuges to escape You walk and stumble with no direction Would like to turn back but there's no option Innocence, hope, were left behind – there's no turning back You cannot deny it, you are not gonna change - there's no turning back Fallen angels never fly again Your old stereo spat nonstop songs that warned about what was to come You knew there's no future but wanted to dream who has not let himself go sometimes? False expectations brought deception in but your pride as loser stands still Nothing matters anymore, you'll never go back You've burned your bridges in order to never return
