Lyrics
La caja idiota es nuestra universidad
Ella controla nuestro nivel cultural
Y nos hace ver la vida como una caricatura
Nos hace pensar, comprar y comer pura basura
La gente vive sumisa
Obedeciendo lo que diga televisa
Y hay muchos que creen que su vida
Es una jotonovela
Las cenicientas ya todas son princesas
De tanto ver la tele
Se nos va secar el coco
Ella nos chupa los sesos poco a poco
Violencia, sexo y degeneracion
Es lo que enseña a diario la television
Y hasta en los programas para niños
Salen viejas encueradas
Ya la inocencia, no existe ni en los cuentos de hadas
De tanto ver la tele
Ya nos volvimos tele adictos
Ella es la madre de todos nuestro vicios
La caja idiota es nuestra universidad
Ella controla nuestra forma de pensar
Ella rige nuestros actos y nuestras acciones
Ella controla nuestras vidas y nuestras pasiones
Lyrics translation
The idiot box is our university
She controls our cultural level
And it makes us see life as a caricature
It makes us think, buy and eat pure garbage
People live submissive
Obeying what televisa says
And there are many who believe that their life
It's a jotonovela.
Cinderella is already all princesses
So much watching TV
We're going to dry the coconut
She sucks our brains out little by little
Violence, sex and degeneration
That's what television teaches every day
And even in children's programs
Old ones come out.
Already innocence, does not exist even in fairy tales
So much watching TV
We've already become TV addicts
She is the mother of all our vices
The idiot box is our university
She controls our way of thinking
She governs our actions and actions
She controls our lives and our passions
