20h55. 29 de Março. Quarta-feira. Num autocarro da Carris, em Alfragide, os meus headphones devolvem-me o som, vindo de uma rádio, de uma música energética e com uma letra brutalmente emocionante, a falar sobre um suicídio à escala global. Aquilo pareceu-me delicioso à medida que ia ouvindo mais e mais. Foi um momento intenso. Só confirmei que era dos Pearl Jam depois da senhora da rádio fazer referência para isso e para o nome: World Wide Suicide. Chegado a caso fui informar-me e percebi que era do novo album deles - tenho andado um pouco afastado das novidades musicais, infelizmente (falta de tempo). Percebi também que a banda disponibilizou o tema gratuitamente no seu site.
WORLD WIDE SUICIDE
I felt the earth on Monday
It moved beneath my feet
In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see
Saw his face in a color picture
I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the
Face I'd never see again
It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when
the war is taking over?
It's the same every day
I heard my name
Why can't they say that
The world be left to hold her
The whole world
World over
It's World Wide Suicide
The whole world
World over
It's World Wide Suicide
Medals on a wooden mantle
Next to a handsome face
That the President took for granted
Writing checks that others pay
And in all the madness
Thought become numb and naive
So much to talk about
And nothing for us to say
It's the same every day
And the wave won't break
Tell you to pray while
the devil's on his shoulder
Laying claims to the tainted soldier said
I'm not a quitting
The truth's already out there
The whole world
World over
It's World Wide Suicide
