2030
We’re in year 2030 and I find myself nearly 60 years old,
my goatee is grey, and I have no hair on my head,
and Ambra is the first woman President.
1
Hoo-oo, the sky can barely be seen,
we go out with a gas mask,
on the buses they have a business class
and to walk into a church, hoo-oo, you need a pass.
Nowadays we just talk through the Internet.
And the Parliament is quartered in Hammamet.

They shoot one another in the subway,
there are checkpoints between North and South,
3
but we all wear Dolce&Gabbana.
And my mind flies back in time,
it rushes to before 2000, many years ago,
when we were still in time, unlike now,
and besides cons there were pros,
so I have...
A lot of nostalgy for the 90s,
when the world was the ark and we were Noah.
It was difficult, but possible,
we didn’t know where and how, but we still knew why.
There were willing people, there were people who got together,
there were people who still loved despite the evil.
Music, there was music, I remember, music,
music, there was music, music.
We are in year 2030, they control television and radio,
there is an audio censorship committee,
they evaluate, they decide what is okay, what is not okay.
They give us harmless music after the dummy run.
They give us Sanremo: Baudo is still presenting it,
4
with the flowers and the spectacular setting,
this year Bossi won, he went back to singing.

We’re in year 2030,
Italy sold the Colisseum to France, Venice is sinking.
2030, and every same day a bomb explodes.
6
2030, and we are out of air, but we have plenty of hate,
they first divided North and South and then city from city.
Consider: now everyone keeps shut in his own room,
intolerance dances, there is no hope.
I have...
A lot of nostalgy for the 90s,
when the world was the ark and we were Noah.
It was difficult, but possible,
we didn’t know where and how, but we still knew why.
There were willing people, there were people who got together,
there were people who still loved despite the evil.
Music, there was music, I remember, music,
music, there was music, music.
This is year 2030, here those who think are the minority,
but it doesn’t matter, it’s not needed anymore, hoo-oo.
2030, indifference is a virtue.
Cybernazis have their own TV show.
Liberators beat up bums in the name of Jesus, hoo-oo.
The national anthem sounds like a dirge.
Virtual sex is healthier,
since there is a virus you can get through sweat,
and in ninety hours you die, HIV seems a cold in comparison;
it’s a war experiment gotten out of control,
and the result is that no one makes love.
And I’m an outlaw since I talk about this,
since I think of when we could still stop all of this,
now it’s late for a pirate poet who hopes in memories and has...
A lot of nostalgy for the 90s,
when the world was the ark and we were Noah.
It was difficult, but possible,
we didn’t know where and how, but we still knew why.
There were willing people, there were people who got together,
there were people who still loved despite the evil.
Music, there was music, I remember, music,
music, there was music, music.
I have...
A lot of nostalgy for the 90s,
when the world was the ark and we were Noah.
It was difficult, but possible,
we didn’t know where and how, but we still knew why.
There were willing people, there were people who got together,
there were people who still loved despite the evil.
Music, there was music, I remember, music,
music, there was music, music.
