Uma música por dia: War Pigs

DIA 15:  “Um cover”

Amo covers. Não a toa, desses 15 dias de UMA MÚSICA POR DIA, cinco foram de covers. Vou até fazer um Top 10 pessoal momentâneo (que daqui uma hora seria outro, mas tá valendo):

– “Head On”, do Jesus & Mary Chain com o Pixies
– “Disco 2000”, do Pulp com Nick Cave
– “I Wanna be Your Dog”, do Stooges com Uncle Tupelo
– “Top of The World”, dos Carpenters com Shonen Knife
– “Un Millon de Amigos”, de Roberto e Erasmo com Romina Peluffo
– “Out of Time”, dos Stones com o Ramones
– “…Baby One More Time”, de Britney Spears com Fountains of Wayne
– “Steady As She Goes”, do Raconteurs com Corinne Bailey Rae
– “Miss World”, do Hole com Afghan Whigs
– “Between Us”, do The Rutles com o Teenage Fanclub

Porém, no contexto absurdo que estamos vivendo em 2026, não poderia ser outra canção: “War Pigs”, do Black Sabbath, que já ganhou uma baita versão do Cake, e recentemente uma do Jeff Tweedy.

Aqui você assiste a uma banda que costuma incluir “War Pigs” quase sempre em seu repertório, o Flaming Lips, acompanhado de Chan Marshall, ao vivo no Austin City Limits Studios,em 2004.

“War Pigs”, do Black Sabbath, com Flaming Lips & Cat Power

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death’s construction

In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds

Oh, Lord, yeah

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah

Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour

Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

Oh, Lord, yeah
