[Intro]
And now, in Radio Concert, and just because it's September 18th, we are presenting local band "Los Prisioneros" and their new single, "Cultural Independence"
[Verse 1]
The moment has come to stand aside
Playing other people's games won't make us win
You and me have good taste, nothing can scare us
Outsiders, outside; let's use our own country
[Pre-Chorus]
Influences, suggestions
Europeans, take away your decadence
Here's a warning, we're about to declare
[Chorus]
Cultural independence
Cultural independence
[Verse 2]
On this far away place people are poor
They reach their hands out
There is no race pride
There are no colonies or tradition
Always hiding our accent
We've never been applauded for a moment
At school they teach you that culture is anything weird
That you don't do
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you dress up, don't take it too hard
You are precious because you are different
And shout loud, 'cos we need to declare
[Chorus]
Cultural independence
Cultural independence
Cultural independence
Cultural independence
[Verse 3]
I don't want no more Bach, yuck!
Because I feel in a different way
If Europe's the culture, then culture is expensive
And I want to understand other people
I don't want to see your hair, dyed green
If Europe's the fashion, if fashion is expensive
I want to understand other people
[Chorus]
Cultural independence
Cultural independence
[Outro]
And that was it —and remember, just because it's September 18th— Radio Concert presenting local band "Los Prisioneros" and their new single, "Cultural Independence". See you next 18th
