A Quinta Coluna

Esta canção podia ser dedicada a Sérgio Vieira de Mello e ao trabalho de Sísifo da ONU.
Recorde-se que «hail to the thief» foi a saudação de muitos americanos ao presidente George W. Bush, depois do modo atribulado como este ganhou as eleições.

«are you such a dreamer?
to put the world to rights?
i'll stay home forever
where 2 and 2 always makes up 5

i'll lay down the tracks
sandbag & hide
January has April's showers
and 2 and 2 always makes up 5

it´s the devil´s way now
there is no way out
you can scream & you
can shout
it´s too late now
because
YOU HAVE NOT BEEN
PAYING ATTENTION
paying attention
paying attention
paying attention

i try to sing along
i get it all wrong
cos i’m not
cos i’m not
i swat 'em like flies but like flies
the buggers keep coming back
cos i'm not
maybe not
"all hail to the thief"
"but i'm not!"
"don't question my authority or put me in the dock"
cos i'm not!
go & tell the king that the
sky is falling in
when it's not
maybe not
maybe not»

(Radiohead, do álbum Hail To The Thief)
