Inner City Blues
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long
(Marvin Gaye)

No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no

A actualidade desta música arrepia-me... Só por isso, o Marvin já merecia aqui estar representado.
Mais um que se foi embora antes do tempo... R.I.P.
É isso que penso quando oiço algumas músicas e letras criadas em épocas tão distantes da nossa. Como ainda nos fazem vibrar e sentir cada vez que as ouvimos.
E tens toda a razão, era mais do que altura do Marvin Gaye ter presença no Canções (não sei porquê, sempre assumi que já cá estaria :)
