"Bob Roberts" by Tim Robbins

A 1992 movie that I saw many times. It's very actual and very current. Bob Roberts looks-like a PP boy who have learned the pose and the imposture of a young rebel like Bob Dyland (and here's the Bob in Bob Roberts). But He's a dark Dylan who sing to the capital and to the neocon values songs like this:

Some people must have.
Some people have not.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

Some people will work.
Some simply will not.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

Like this: It's society's fault I don't have a job.
It's society's fault I am a slob.
I have potential no one can see.
Give me welfare. Let me be me!

Hey, Bud, you're livin' in the Land of the Free.
No one's gonna hand you opportunity!

Some people must have.
Some never will.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

I don't have a house. I don't have a car.
I spend all my money getting' drunk in a bar.
I wanna be rich. I don't have a brain.
Just give me a handout while I complain.

Or this: I wanna stay in bed and watch TV.
Go out weekends in a limousine
And dance all night takin' lots of drugs
And wake up when I wanna.

Hey, Bud, you're livin' in the Land of the Free.
No one's gonna hand you opportunity!

Some people will learn.
Some never do.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.
Yeah, they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

Sí, ellos se quejan pero en realidad se lo merecen. como diría Esperanza Aguirre A very very scary movie "Bob Roberts", indeed. Lead and directed by Tim Robbins its count with many of his friends (many impressive cameos). And this was made in a hard time: EEUU started his first war agains Irak and many countries support this atack on the idea that Irak cannot invade Kwait. This was the start of all the things you-know-what.

Another songs to the neocon you have inside your heart (indeed, all the movies songs, I think):
