Apparently sparami means "shoot me". I could only find rough translations online and I get the sense that the singer is railing against some kind of injustice, but I can't make it make any lineal sense. Is it based on a specific event or something?

Scusami il mondo è il gioco dei ricchi o no
scusami non era un gioco per tutti o no
sparami ma la sostanza non cambierà mai
Bacio il buio e sto deviando
poi bacio il cielo che quasi ci credo
ho luci dentro e piume Fuori
chi vola prima o poi saremo anche noi
sono io sei tu
Scusami ogni sistema è una gabbia mi dà rabbia
perché aumenta le differenze
tra chi ha potere E chi non ha proprio niente
sempre più niente
Sparami sparami io sarò sempre meno quello che pensi
una nuova realtà sommersa
colpo su colpo risponderò questo sistema è una gabbia
mi dà in omaggio rabbia
Sparami lo Farò colpo su colpo io risponderò
Apriti e scegli i semi più buoni e poi
donali ai tuoi nemici più veri e poi
passerà quest'anno nero come sono passati gli altri
se vogliamo cadrà ogni muro anche il più duro fra di noi
Sparami sparami io sarò sempre meno quello che pensi
una nuova realtà sommersa
colpo su colpo risponderò questo sistema è una gabbia
mi dà in omaggio rabbia
sparami sparami lo farò
colpo su colpo io risponderò
sparami sparami lo farò.....
LLLIIIIITTTFIIIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :D
Litfiba's songs are difficult to explain, they play a lot on double meaning.SHOT ME literally means shoot me.But it is also sometimes used for other things, they are figurative uses.In this case it is a protest against abuse.this is the text.
The refrain SPARAMI is figurative, it means shoot me but it is also a way of saying. It is used in many ways:ES: “oh my god, another Cannabis Law again, please SHOOT ME!” :DIt's a way of saying, for example, to say "don't make me hear these things".
Litfiba in this case does not mean shoot me,try to say : do your best to crush and suppress me, SHOOT ME (sparami) i will answer means i don't care how hard you hit the weak, WE WILL ANSWER AGAIN.
"we" poor, we who do not adapt to this unjust and racist society.
This message for those times was "ahead 10 years!"
congratulations LIFTIBA were the best Italian band!
listen TERREMOTO!terrremooootoooo! D:

It's a song against the abuse of power. The injustice he denounces is the social one, of an oppressive system in which only the rich can be free. "Sparami" really means shoot me, I don't care what you do to me, I'll keep going on my way.
Ah, so it's not necessarily literal. It could be like "Do whatever you want, I won't change"?
Yes exactly. "Do your worst, I won't give in".
P.S. Piero Pelù, the frontman, has repeatedly expressed conspiracy theories on social media in recent years. He doesn't miss the will to fight, but he's not exactly good at picking the right battles.
P.P.S. luckily he doesn't believe in the most delusional theories, such as those with aliens or children tortured in the basements of pizzerias. He can be defined as a "moderate" conspiracy theorist.
Good to know. Without understanding the lyrics or knowing the singer's background, he still conveys the sentiment you speak of in his voice. And the music's good too. Grazie.
he wasn't a conspiracy theorist, I wrote it above what it was. and it comes from those who lived through those years, went to those concerts and followed up and understood and lived through those years.
It's not 2 news found on googling to tell the truth.
NO WAY NO WAY
data found on social media does not always correspond to reality.
it shows from 200 miles that you don't know the true story of the group and what they REALLY preached. READ THE LYRICS of the songs to understand.
You don't know what you're talking about. as always for someone who pronounces on a past that he has never seen or experienced.
You have an answer to everything with google, and you are no longer used to using your brain and REALLY searching.
READ THE TEXTS understanding the REAL meaning.
EXACT! almost all the songs of Litfiba have this spirit of rebellion.
At the time they were written, the Italian governments were shit. Not that today is better eh, is it's still dry shit but there was less hypocrisy.
Tel I say as a boomer I'm 48 and I went to their concerts, it was an APOCALYPSE!
awesome experiences! along with LSD :D
IN LITFIBA there was a lot of SOCIAL FIGHTING. between economic and political classes.
LITFIBA songs are ALL with this style. Social denunciation, fight against injustices, against corruption, against a system that was SHIT.
They were trying to wake people up from the torpor and stasis this fucking country lives in.
They were ALL social denunciation, and fight against HYPOCRISY of a country that has always preferred to HIDE UNDER THE CARPET, its problems and weaknesses, instead of facing with testicles in hand. ;)
They were against what we used to call "average Italian"(italiano medio), which still exists today.
the jerk who works, pays taxes, shits the dog on the street, drive the SUV and goes to sleep like an automaton. Without have never REALLY used the EYES to see.
. Without asking a question, without protesting the constant abuses.
This was the Litfiba, a BELL TO WAKE UP a population of shitty automatons.
And with those deals, brother, rest assured they've been doing it for a while.
