Krik ulica
Justin's Johnson · Other Songs - Justin's Johnson
sve se promijenilo
postao si preko noci
sve sto si mrzio
Cemu sad krivi pogledi
nekad si bio kao mi
nekad si i ti zelio
ovaj svijet preokrenuti
I zasto sada gazis
po slici svoje proslosti
kad dobro znas
da ona nece izblijediti
Sve tvoje slavne pobjede
svi tvoji hrabri porazi
ostat ce tu na tocki
k'o zadnji dokazi
Ref.
Kad cujes krik tih ulica
koje su ti nekad bile dom
zalit ces sto vise nisi
buntovnik sa razlogom
Koji hrabro borio se
sa svim mediokritetima
nikad nisi bio tih
a sada si jedan od njih
Da li se sjecas vremena
kad zvuk je naseg plemena
znacio vise od svega
bio nasa vodilja
Kad si sa dobrim rijecima
2-3 ista akorda
mogao zapoceti dan
dlasno graditi svoj san
Ref.
A meni je jos uvijek
dobro tu
kad bude vrijeme
okrenut cu novu stranicu
Al' nikad necu dat
da mi izbrisu okvire proslosti
dres mozda promijenim
al' stav ce isti ostati
Ref.
A street-level critique of abandoned ideals
On “Krik ulica” (“Street Cry”), Croatian band Justin's Johnson turns ska-punk energy toward a familiar kind of disillusionment: watching someone abandon the rebellious ideals they once shared. The narrator is not simply nostalgic for youth; the song challenges the way social compromise can turn a former critic into the very thing they opposed. Its street-level perspective gives the criticism a personal edge.
The track appears on the band's 2013 debut album *Na krivom mjestu u pravo vrijeme*. Justin's Johnson, formed in 2001, blend swing, ska and punk in a style often described as skabilly. That lively hybrid creates an interesting contrast with the song's frustration: the music is built to move, while its subject is the slow erosion of conviction and the cost of fitting in.
No dependable chart position or major review record is available for the song, but it remains part of the band's recorded and online catalogue. “Krik ulica” is best read as a scene-rooted critique rather than a general protest anthem: it addresses a former comrade and measures change against shared memories. The band's ska-punk sound gives the accusation momentum without softening its underlying disappointment.
