lyrics

TOHLE NENÍ MOJE MĚSTO

Na rozích hledáš postavy těch, co museli odejít *
Tam někde za zdí najdeš ty, co neměli kam
Všude kolem chrámy úspěchu
Skleněné zdi, kam se podíváš
Tohle město sis nevybral_a
A najednou je ze všech stran
Překupníci s tvářemi vytahují rolety
Za výlohou masky pro dnešní den **
Na ty včerejší už není čas
Nezbyl ani na včerejší lidi
Zbyde místo pro nás? ***
Nebo zmizíme jako prach ze stěn?
Tohle není moje město – Život plyne jak v seriálu
Tohle není moje město – Tady vždycky víš, kam dojdeš

THIS IS NOT MY CITY

On the corners you look for those who had to leave *
Somewhere behind the wall you'll find those who had no place to go
Altars of success all around
Glass walls wherever you look
You didn't choose this city
And suddenly it is everywhere around you
Face dealers pull up the awnings
Today´s masks are behind the shop windows **
There's no time for yesterdays masks
There is no time even for yesterday's people
Will there be a place for us? ***
Or are we going to disappear like the dust from the walls?
This is not my city - life flows like in a TV show
This isn't my city - you always know where to go

* "Where once one necessarily entered the city by means of a physical gateway, now one passes through an audiovisual protocol inwhich the methods of audience and surveillance have transformed even the forms of public greeting and daily reception’ (Paul Virilio - The Over-Exposed City)
** “Gentrifiers focus on aesthetics, not people. Because people, to them, are aesthetics.” (Sarah Kendzior - The Peril of Hipster Economics)
*** "This is the tang in the air: tough love, zero tolerance, ever-growing inequality, CCTVs, ASBOs, and an 'intensely relaxed' attitude to what was fuelling the economic bubble they said would never burst" (Dan Hancox - Inner City Pressure: London And the Story Of Grime)
