The John Butler Trio: música "sustentável"



Apresento-lhes a banda The John Butler Trio, um som australiano que vem conquistando cada vez um público maior. O grupo faz uma espécie de som meio bluegrass e vem da Oceania. Composto pelo guitarrista e vocalista John Butler, o grupo já lançou dois álbuns de altíssima qualidade, sendo que o último deles garantiu o disco de platina na música australiana, tendo atingido o top ten das rádios locais no ano de 2003.



Uma música interessante é "Money" que faz uma crítica pesada a todos aqueles que preferem o dinheiro em detrimento ao meio ambiente.

Ao final da música John Butler questiona: "Me diga cara, vc é capaz de comer seu dinheiro"?

Money
John Butler Trio
Composição: John Butler

Well I hope you find your way
Through every heart wrenching day
With all those shitty decisions that you make
Hell I know the games, I know the games you play
So do you think you got enough time
To open all of your uranium mines
Before yes you go and you poison us all
You know your profit man it's gonna take its toll
And I don't know who you are
I don't know where you come from
I just know it is to hell you're going cos...
You pollute everything with you big business
And i know it's all for your money
Hell yeah, all for your money
All for your money
Tell me man it's all for your money
So go now you go and you rape this Earth
You take her for what you think she'd worth
But you take and you take and you take til there's nothing left
I don't call that business, I call that theft
So who do the Hell do you think you are
Why do you got to take things so far
You know you screw the Earth and then you look towards the stars
Tell me man why do you got to take things so far
And I don't know who you are
I don't know where you come from
I just know it is to hell you're going cos...
You ruin everything with you big business
And i know it's all for your money
All for your money
Sweeter than honey
All for your Money
Tell me man can you eat your money
Tell me man can you eat your money...
Cos that's what's gonna be left, that's what's gonna be left
So tell me man can you eat your money
Business man with your uranium mine,will you gain a conscience
Politician man, there in your Government,will you gain a conscience
Media man with all your newspapers,
Who lies must gain a conscience
Prime Minister with all our apathy,will you GAIN A CONSCIENCE!
