1- Salvation Army

If it seems like this is how we go
With the head low and not wanting to look
With no smile, inert and with pure aggression
and you don´t comply with this reality, because you are a sensational freak, you go with your spirit on automatic pilot with nothing else…
and I feel the same
I want to die living, and not to live dying
Listen:
she saw herself acting as the maid in her home, her brother was scratching his balls non stop,
 (the reproductive Argentinean male is supported by mom and dad), and one day she gets fed up with this familiar manliness, searching
alternatives, pretending something else other than bringing up kids, serving his husband and sitting waiting….
and I feel the same
I want to die living, and not to live dying

How much more do we have to wait? Explode in frustration
Fantasizing with a triumphant rescue? From a salvation army?
…...If its you and me!...It’s true!

It’s that I feel the same I want to die living
And not to live dying

I can hear the voices that come today from some corner
A shout drowned in frustration
It may be our dead talking to us
Marching, I feel them come
their stops can be hear loud
A soul regiment, that once existed
From people who at least tried
and I hear more, it’s my own voice
And I also hear your voice
And now hundreds and thousands and a million, a salvation army
It is useless now trying to avoid it
These voices can not shut up and they say what they always do
They are known phrases, repeated words
Yet never fulfilled, they ask for:
Peace!
Work! Dignity!
Equality! Social justice!
Stop the violence!
Unity!
Stop killing!.....never again!


2-Cartonero / Cardboard Collector

At the morning I have breakfast with the doubts left over from the night before
I then go out to earn my living no matter cold or hot weather
Because there is no time to get down or cry for a better living
The priority is the food on the table and I have to earn it no matter what
I then see that things get very tough and every day is worse
If my wife helps me pulling the cart, both together
And as there is no money to send the kids to school
We also take them to pick up cardboard…if not, how will take care of them?

In the street I earned my degree ..in the art  of surviving rummaging through the garbage picking up what this system left for me
And to those managing the country, to those persons I want to say
I propose them to swop places for one moment and see if they support living my CARTONERO life

What a paradox, that having more reasons than enough to go out smuggle
I avoid the crime inventing work where there is none
And moreover on the rebound I am the ecologic alternative
Recycling what everyone throws away, societies garbage
I then see people who have more than they could ever thought and who wants even more, with their cars they run over the whole world
Talking through their mobile phones
And having they future assured they never stop robbing
To those men I want to shout …. What is going on here…


3 Monkeys

I have been walking through the jungle like crazy
I got away from the group and ended up lost
I am back now with my monkeys
They have always waited form me in the same tree
And now
There is no one who can win us
There is no one who can stop us
We are all together here….united again
A monkey’s life is very simple
I want to clean and be cleaned
Respect the leader and amongst all
Protect ourselves from the human beings
Then
There is no one who can win us
There is no one who can stop us
We are all together here….united again


4 Buenos Aires in flames

What is the guy on the signs laughing about
Governor candidate?
Kidnapping, thefts, death, insecurity,
The situation is terrible
The fact is the system collapsed a long time ago
But it still invoices the same
They hook is up with promises
And hide the truth….you can see
….that the overpopulation grows and we are living a complete chaos if a simple rain detonates the city and it floods everything and it all rots, do you think you are safe here?

Buenos Aires is over, it burns in the middle of hell
And we are still here reviving the fire

They impose the rules of the game
Of the biggest profitability
At the lower cost possible with no exception
Of human lives…
And as simple as that they make us get used
To the aggression
Living in this real estate company
Paying twice as much or more…..an then…
….do we still believe that this is the only place to live?
And during elections….we will always vote….foolish and afraid, the same rats, we are sons of severity after all

Buenos Aires is over, it burns in the middle of hell
And we are still here reviving the fire
Buenos Aires is over, it burns in the middle of hell
I am leaving this place before it starts burning me

And during elections we will always vote
We are their business, they are killing us and we still feed them

It burns in flames


5 Vortex

Crosses the door, doesn’t come back
Leaving that cruel family behind
And that corridor where dad used to say between punches: welcome!
In all Villa Ballester nobody heard his interior sorrow
Hurry up, the train is coming…
And it crowns his life on the platform

Cecilia….where are you going?
I will venture as an angel
Cecilia where are you going?
I will end up this disaster
Is it that nobody can hear you?

Your dreams frustrated
Your days mutilated
Did they beat you so much
Mother, father and your brother
Stop the ill-treatment!
I have already understood the message
If my life is useless

Shitty Indian, get out of here!!!
Stupid! What an ugly clothes you wear
Alone at school, so much cruelty
Can be tolerated safely in her mental hell…
In this dirty society hearts are not allowed
Which blow with the wind easily and shreds it to pieces with no mercy…


6 Mirror

With no objection….I walked as if in an enchanted wood
Nonetheless, I knew well that I was walking far away
I then wanted to go back the road
And I suddenly found myself lost
With no moon or stones that sparkle in the night
Through a dark path, between howls
With no excuses, only egoism and mundane pleasures
I started to learn to be a better person due to being very bad
Passionate…of so much feeling and feeling
So wrong and carelessly knowing I will not live 100 years to see another Halley comet, lighting me up

We are what we are above all: so very much human beings
I am who I say I am, but I cause you so many enlightenments
Confronting again…in front of the mirror

For my big fault, for my own fault
….and also due to my sins yes!
Why suffer?....we is it so complicated to feel?
The time has come to try another road, nothing is for free
And I admit it, that yet with your forgiveness I am my own conviction
And I burn in this bonfire watching you leave

We are what we are above all: so very much human beings
I am who I say I am, but I cause you so many enlightenments
Confronting again…in front of the mirror


7 Toy

If I was only a toy
Abandoned in a corner
Destined for whims
And the fancies of the crowd
They would simply throw me into the air
They would pull out one by one every extremity
And then end up forgotten in a rubbish dump

If I would leave to free will
Everything to the mercy of your ambition
My virtues, my precious sparkles
All my faith and my conviction

Today would only be a slight accent of emotion
A consumed body, defenseless and valueless
Condemned and loveless, remains at the will of God

With no right, no decision  to shout …that the show must not continue…

If I appealed to your empathy
And your sense of location
If I would trust each person
and would comply to its reason

they would have corrupted me already with no compassion
They would have used and discarded me in any occasion
Which defrauds the illusion of everyone and its pretension

With no right with no decision to shout…
…that the show must not continue….i am not a toy…not any more!

The show must not continue


8 Oven

why they can’t see
that I am a very formal person?
why they can’t see
That I am reliable? …. A normal guy
Why do they bring me here? It must be an error….who would think that I have an anxiety disorder?

Although I have been outstanding and popular at school
I was expelled the same
Blamed for robbing the sacristan’s cassock…to then burn….and now, once again they  defame me unfairly as a
Antisocial for burning down the local church

They wanted to lynch me and my family came and took me for summer holidays in a super SPA…those that serve 6 Rivotril’s for breakfast…or a box of Alplax

Since I came back, people respect me more…everything is cordiality
Maybe it is because I am now a very spiritual guy…too much religious
I made a donation for the remodeling of the local church
And today I always arrive on time to mass….although I don´t know why nobody wants to come with me…?!


9 Saturday Fever

Just a look to solve
That I don´t like this place
And I instantly feel like an animal
Locked, waiting to escape

I am not missing anything
I am not aware of anything
So if this is fun
I am not missing anything

Everybody goes to the bathroom as if in a procession
Cocaine is like a God
Clothes, hair and frivolity
What the fuck am I doing in this place

I am not missing anything
I am not aware of anything
So if this is fun
I am not missing anything
I am not aware of anything
So if this is fun, if this is fun, if this is fun….I got bored…I got bored…
…I am going to bed right now


10 Dog Park

I am going to the dog park
I am going to clear my head, I hope
The day in the city….it was like hell and the truth is
Such society weighs a lot
I am going to the dog park
I will re-find myself I think
I can already hear them, children laugh as they play and I fly away from this reality

Very far away, where I was a child yesterday as well, it isn’t immaturity
It’s that growing the innocence leaves me…
 
I am going to the dog park
I am going to see you again
There, where you once promised me eternity
And we swore not to fight never again
My sight is blurred again, full of emotion and I felt happy
When you said….I am your karma

The day in the city….it was like hell and the truth is
Such society weighs a lot
It ii raining already , let run home soon


11To kill dragons

If I had known that I was your prince charming I should have gone out to kill dragons for you
To live postponing mi act
And resign to your goals and to my frustration

And in the name of love
I made a big disaster
To at last crash
With the sad reality
That this is not the way

If I had known that I was your prince charming
I should have gone out to kill dragons for you
And to eliminate till the day I met you
Every memory, feeling or previous experience

And in the name of love
I made a big disaster
To at last crash
With the sad reality
That this is not the way

Why do I repeat my mistake?
Always the same sentence
Used to look for
Self love from the outside

At any time, calling me to my mobile phone
In jealousy’s obsession you took control
Who are you with? Where are you? Why don’t you come?
Where are you going? What to do you think? Who called you?

And in the name of love
Today I decided to leave you
And I started walking
With no fear of the truth
For my liberty, my liberty, my liberty, yes, mi liberty


12 Cyclops

I am the Cyclops, who called me? Do you want death?
I will give it to you
I am the Cyclops, the executor
Do you want death? I will give it to you

I am here to kill everyone with no distinction, just one eye, just one vision, I can’t see good, I can´t see evil, I am not here to make justice

I am the Cyclops, who called me? Do you want death?
I will give it to you
I am the Cyclops, the executor
Do you want death? I will give it to you

Hysterically playing you die
For centuries searching for destruction
They asked for me, pleaded for me and the cry today they have me here

They now ask for peace and they pray to God, women, children die with no compassion
This is how war is, what can I do, you should better think about it next time

I am the Cyclops, who called me? Do you want death?

I am the Cyclops!


13 Karmagedon

We might not have death penalty
But this grief is killing us
And this is how you are, and this is how I am….we are free

It is this humanities karma who chose
By instinct the road of chaos
And this is how you are, and this is how I am….we are free

We are free…we don’t live in peace but we are free

The security of living locked
Aggression as the new Esperanto
It´s up to you, it´s up to me, don’t forget

Our children always devouring
Orgies on TV
It´s up to you, it´s up to me, we are free

We are free…we don’t live in peace but we are free

Silicone and cuts al over the body
Everyone wants to be a super model
this is how you are, and this is how I am….we are free

The highway calls to prepotency
Which gives us impunity and licenses us to
Accelerate and assassin ….we are free

We are free…we don’t live in peace but we are free


14 Empty city

We the night reigns and there is no one around, I see the city rebirth
The crowd sleeps foolish, everything is calm now, silence is health….in loneliness

Sleep while, in the meantime, we will stroll around the city….the empty streets
Watching over his ostentatious dreams

Sleep in peace, that we are fine like this, the darkness will be our refuge to live noctambulant
Sleep in peace, that we are fine like this, in loneliness, sleep for ever and leave us the eternity.

Under the full moon any imperfection surrenders to its light of splendor
The lifeless machines, a grey building, they distill charm, today like this

Over the avenues all that love falls like dew ….which goes nowhere, tears of deceit and disappointment

Sleep in peace, that we are fine like this, the darkness will be our refuge to live noctambulant
Sleep in peace, that we are fine like this, in loneliness, sleep for ever and leave us the eternity.


15 Torch

I don’t want to think what would life be like without you
Nobody will surpass you, you are a person lost in the multitude
And no one imagines the good you cause around you and I
Know who you are

And I want to be next to you
For ever

You are what makes the world turn, you are the water in today’s desert
In the guard of a hospital, in places where there is never no one…to help
Without asking in exchange nothing else but the rejoicing of feeling you help

And I want to be next to you
For ever by your side

You are the light and because of giving light so much
You are good and because of doing good so much
You light us with your torch and you also in this way, light yourself

When the world would fall collapsing my reason to fight I know you will be there

And I want to be next to you
For ever by your side


16 Blood

It must be that in some other life we where also brothers

My voice calls you…I am talking to you
Never leave me….protect me
When you wake up, I will be by your side
I will be the first thing you see

It must be that in some other life we where also brothers

Your voice calls me…I can hear you speak
Never leave me….protect me
When you wake up, I want to be by your side
You will be the first thing I see

It must be that in some other life we where also brothers


17 Chance

Day after day learning to be
I look back at all the road I walked
What might have been and what has been
Mi opportunity to start all over again
And the rest frankly does not matter

Who was I all this time? I don’t know…
Who am I or will be? Have I fulfilled a dream?
Attempting happiness as test and error
Life is a moment and the rest frankly does not matter

I look at you hard and you smile
I don´t loose one day far from you….mi chance is today
I look in your eyes and I see myself there
Taking advantage of every occasion
My chance is today

So many thing I would have done well
So many I did wrong and which I don´t even notice
How much I wasted without looking
That you have been there with me all the time
And today, the rest frankly does not matter

I look at you hard and you smile
I don´t loose one day far from you….mi chance is today
I look in your eyes and I see myself there
Taking advantage of every occasion
Of being with you
