If you have a sexist friend

El disco que saco ahí (In the Studio, Special Aka, Nueva York, 1984) es uno de los mejores que se hayan hecho nunca y es música de músicos-músicos; caliente, rumbosa, con mucho baile y ritmo y encima con letras comprometidas y sin complejos. De su maravilloso Racist friend (Jerry Dammers/Dick Cuthell/John Bradbury) saqué yo una versión muy adecuada para estas fechas (25N) que reproduzco a continuación:

If you have a sexist friend

now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end


be it your sister, be it your brother

be it your uncle or your cousin or your lover


If you have a sexist friend

now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end


Be it your best friend or any other

Is it your husband or your father or your mother??


Tell them to change their views or change their friends

Now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end


So if you know a sexist who thinks he is your friend

now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end


Call yourself my friend?

Now is the time to make up your mind, don´t try to pretend


Be it your sister, be it your brother

be it your cousin or your uncle or your lover


So if you are a sexist, our friendship has got to end

and if your friends are sexists don´t pretend to be my friend


So if you have a sexist friend, now is the time, now is the time,

for our friendship to end
