" Testo e Musica di: Riccardo Volta"
(Sacco and Vanzetti)

That this freedom has a price
for all the people like us,
humiliated and forced into poverty
of a few heroes in this world,
come to look a bit 'of dignity
and then abused and animosity,
to be treated worse than dogs
your company from this hypocritical,
with abuse of power will tie the hands
chains and shake the truth.
The powerful are afraid of people like us
that only free people can think,
oh no we will never be heroes
but you can change the world with love,
our sacrifice will not be in vain
if the whole world will take the hand,
our sacrifice will not be in vain
if the whole world will take the hand.
And now you tell me how I can pray
If the injustice behind the cross,
if two innocent people go to die in silence
in this land where there is no true peace,
the cowardice written on those sheets of paper your
to close the doors in the face of freedom,
these truths in our tired eyes
plants in those who seek the truth.
The powerful are afraid of people like us
that only free people can think,
oh no we will never be heroes
but you can change the world with love,
our sacrifice will not be in vain
if the whole world will take the hand,
our sacrifice will not be in vain
if the whole world will take the hand.

Caso giudiziario trascinatosi dal 1920 al 1927 che ebbe come protagonisti gli immigrati italiani Nicola Sacco e Bartolomeo Vanzetti, condannati a morte il 15 aprile 1920 per l'omicidio di due uomini durante una rapina in un calzaturificio. La loro esecuzione provocò proteste in tutto il mondo. Il carattere puramente indiziario delle prove addotte contro i due italiani (che erano attivisti anarchici) attirarono sulla corte accuse di faziosità dettata da motivi razziali e politici. La richiesta di riaprire il caso venne sistematicamente rifiutata, anche quando un altro detenuto, condannato a morte, confessò di aver preso parte alla rapina. Solo nell'agosto 1977 il governatore del Massachusetts Michael Dukakis riconobbe in un documento ufficiale gli errori commessi nel processo, riabilitando completamente la memoria di Sacco e Vanzetti.
