Dê Uma Chance à Bicicleta

“Give peace a chance” foi a primeira canção solo de John Lennon, ainda quando os Beatles tocavam juntos. A música marcou a entrada de Lennon no ativismo e foi usada como hino do movimento contra a Guerra do Vietnam, em 1969. Ao lado de Happy Xmas tornou-se um dos maiores sucessos da dupla Lennon&Yoko e continua tão atual e necessária quanto naquela época.

Se o trânsito nas cidades tornou-se uma “guerra” todo dia, tudo o que a gente diz nesta releitura da canção é: dê uma chance para as bicicletas.

Ev’rybody’s talking about
Traffic jam, pollution, road rage, climate change, global warming
This-ism, that-ism
Isn’t it the most
All we are saying is give bicycle a chance
All we are saying is give bicycle a chance

Ev’rybody’s talking about
Lung cancer, obesity, car crash, children killed, women crying,
run over, man injured, quadriplegic, tetraplegic, paraplegic,
And bye bye, bye byes.
All we are saying is give bicycle a chance
All we are saying is give bicycle a chance

Let me tell you now
Ev’rybody’s talking about
motorway, highway, SUV, green cars, biofuel, pavement parking
crisis, industry, IPI, buy cars and save the nation!
All we are saying is give bicycle a chance
All we are saying is give bicycle a chance
