Sve je surovo

Zeljko Samardzic · Other Songs - Zeljko Samardzic

Sami u tami, nigde nikoga
u flasi ispred nas suza pica zestokog
al' meni treba vise od toga
nocas u meni ima neceg tako zlog

Ref.2x
Sve je surovo kad' se ne voli
kad' te vredjaju, a nista ne boli
hajde pitaj me sto nikad nisi pre
nocas zbogom je odgovor na sve

Telo ti novo k'o iz izloga
u svakom pokretu dobra doza fatalnog
al' meni treba vise od toga
u meni nocas ima neceg tako oholog

Ref.2x

Sve je surovo

Zeljko Samardžić's "Sve je surovo" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, capturing the raw energy and existential angst of the 1980s. Released during a period of intense political and social upheaval in the former Yugoslavia, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of hard rock and poetic lyricism. The song's driving rhythm and Samardžić's powerful vocals became a staple of the era's live performances, resonating deeply with audiences across the region. It reflects a broader cultural movement where music served as a vehicle for expressing collective frustration and hope amidst changing times. As a cornerstone of his discography, the recording remains a significant touchstone for fans of Balkan rock and those interested in the musical history of the region during the Cold War era.
