	What would you think if a business tycoon came to you and told you "vote for me"? Would you conceive that a man who owns tv channels, publishing houses, insurance companies, building societies, etc could become your Prime Minister? well, there's a land in the world where this is what happened. This song talks about this man appearing in front of a mass of ingenous people who are waiting for "the man", the one who will solve all their troubles...well when they figure out who he really is, imagine the surprise in their eyes...but it's too late! Viva l'Italia, ragazzi. * Remastered version *

	Story Behind the Song This song was born while I was travelling by train.The start was a simple chords sequence that I had already used for my old song "Living for nothing". I was just playing with those chords on my mind trying to find the most complicated melody which could go together with it without looking like Sostachovic' when I found out that it worked, I was writing a new song...the changes of chords are just a style exercise, while the starting chords are a hommage to Burt Bacharach, one of my favourite songwriters. ---- Achievements: Top 10 EuroPop on MP3.com (Summer 2001) - Top 10 Pop on Artistlaunch (Winter 2002) ---- Lyrics ELEGANTLY WASTED Where's the famous man? Were all waiting for him instead of the Holy Ghost we've got only our blood and the eyes of a blind child But the man will come with his head screwed on right No one ever saw his face how will we recognize the man that were waiting for? I think he won't come anymore there are people sure that hes just here He will give us the truth for a moment of youth yes he's going to talk Now I see the man he's in front of us all Instead of a beard he's got an expensive Rolls-Royce and a driver drinking pink champagne He's finally starting to talk he promises work and peace if we all vote for him We just can't believe our ears this man's not a prophet at all now we see hes just a f***ing MAN he's a business tycoon a political man with a mouth full of s**t We feel wasted at all in an elegant mood. © 1999-2000 Giuseppe Gambino (SIAE)
