Squallor
Squallor (also spelled as Gli Squallor) were an Italian comedy music group, active between 1973 and 1994.
Career
The group formed in 1973 as a ribald side project of four established musicians, composer and producer Giancarlo Bigazzi, producer Alfredo Cerruti, lyricist Daniele Pace and songwriter Totò Savio. Characterized by adult themes, references to sex, political incorrectness, and vulgarity, in spite of no live activity and radio ostracism, they got an immediate commercial success. In 1984 they wrote and starred in the low budget comedy Arrapaho, loosely inspired by their album with the same name, which was a surprise hit at box office and achieved some cult status. The group disbanded in 1994, following their last album Cambiamento. In 2012 it was released Gli Squallor, a documentary about the story of the group.

Thrasher
by: SquealerViolence and agression become passion in this world
Walking down the alley smelling the prey – tally ho!
Feeling like a hunter aiming for the strongest stag
All the satisfied and all the fat should now take care
Are you afraid – he came to judge you
Are you afraid – they call him thrasher
Who is to blame – violence and aggression
Who is to blame – hatred of the thrasher
Fear the stalking thrasher in the canyons you call
streets
Resistance from the gutter getting hotter day by day
Victims never get to know the violators name
Leaders of society they hide in towers of glass
Are you afraid – he came to judge you
Are you afraid – they call him thrasher
Who is to blame – violence and aggression
Who is to blame – hatred of the thrasher
Who do you think you are?
Everytime you went to far
You planted a gentle breeze
But a hurricane is what you harvest
Are you afraid – he came to judge you
Are you afraid – they call him thrasher
Who is to blame – violence and aggression
