Bakukush / Diapers Pack

Bakukush/Diapers pack
Translated to English by Sofian Zerelli
Edited by Znous

A panoramic depiction of the social hysteria that plagued the Tunisian society

in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution. A hungover society drifting away from
reality, haunted by the psychological disorders of the past, trapped between
the predators that rule the country today, and the fear of what the future

hides.

This song is a portrait of 10 million Tunisians…superposed.

Lyrics

People are fucked up
Smoking pot in dark corners
People are playing dead
and cops are lurking around the corner
People are making jokes
People are mocking each other
drunk!
People are bitching around
Swallowing pills and depressed
People are rioting
People are dancing
at funerals!
People´s got rabies
Killing each other
over a bottle of booze
People are wailing
They wanna go home from work
People are wasting bread
and pretending to starve
People are copulating
Like reptilians
People will fucking eat you
like a Shawarma
People are scamping
People are wallowing
as usual
People are yawning
People are craving
the years of the ZABA*1
People are wandering and lost
People are enjoying their misery
People are stoned
Poeple are drunk to their guts
People are fucked up
Keep them away from me!
It´s Corona!!
The people are us
The people are you
and them

Fetch a pack of diapers on your way back home!
Don’t you look behind you on your way back home!
Don’t pretend to be strong on your way back home!
Walk head down underneath the walls,
on your way back home!

*ZABA is abbreviation for Zine Al-Abidine Ben Ali (Ex-dictator)
