Discurso roto

Hoy no tengo tiempo más que para respirar y seguir consciente.
Pero soy un inconsciente y pierdo el tiempo en escribir, aunque me cueste respirar.

Tenía un texto precioso, una reflexión acerca de las injusticias de los gobiernos del mundo para con los más desfavorecidos... y se me ha borrado...
Os dejo con una canción que me hace las veces de comodín: "If I was President", de Wyclef Jean.

Resume y explica, mediante las cuerdas de Wyclef (las de la guitarra y las de su voz, más desgastadas si cabe), el mensaje que quería trasmitir.


[chorus]:
If I was president,
I'd get elected on Friday, assasinated on Saturday,
and buried on Sunday.

If I was president... (x2)

An old man told me, instead of spending billions on the war,
we can use some of that money, in the ghetto.
I know some so poor, they use the spring as the shower,
when screaming "fight the power".
That's when the vulture devoured

[chorus]

If I was president... (x4)

But the radio won't play this.
They call this rebel music.
How can you refuse it, children of moses?

[chorus]

If I was president... (x2)

Tell the children the truth, the truth.
Christopher Columbus didn't discover America.
Tell them the truth.
The truth
YEAH! Tell them about Marcus Garvey.
The truth YEAH! The truth.
Tell them about Martin Luther King.
Tell them the truth.
The Truth.
Tell them about JFK

[chorus]

If I was president... (x2)
