The Thermals "Now We Can See", video e testo

Questi ragazzi di Portland con questo album si allontanano dal pessimismo dei precedenti lavori, forse perché hanno captato un’America senza più destra guerrafondaia al potere, oppure perché hanno ascoltato le parole di speranza di Obama alle quali loro hanno risposto con un Now We Can See.
Abbiamo selezionato per voi il video del brano apripista dell’album, dal titolo appunto Now We Can See. Musica e grinta Pop-Rock-Punk. Ecco il video e il testo:

The Thermals - Now We Can See

Oh way-ow oh-whoa-oh

We were born in the desert
We were reared in a cave
We conquered in the sun
but we lived in the shade
Yeah baby we were savage
we existed to kill
Our history is damaged
at least it was a thrill
But now we can see!
Now that our vision is strong
we dont have to admit we were wrong
Now we can see
but the images don’t stick
Our enemies lay dead on the ground
and still we kick

Oh way-ow oh-whoa-oh

Now we can see
The warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines
like writing on the wall
Now we can see
What do we need
We should need nothing
Nothing at all
Yeaaah!

We were born on an island
we grew out of the sand
Never saw another creature
never knew another man
Yeah baby we were nothin
we existed for less
Our present was empty
our history a mess
But now we can see
Now we do as we please
Now we do away with our disease
Now we can see
Now the image sticks
We still need the medicine quick
We still take the pill
…………..

Now we can see
The warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines
like writing on the wall
Now we can see
What do we need
We should need nothing
Nothing at all

Oh way-ow oh-whoa-oh

Yeah now we can see
