Lyrics

Vos pensás en tu revolución
Yo pienso que te falta mucho rock and roll.
Que mierda son tus batallas culturales
Si te dan miedo los artistas siderales.
Me preguntaste que cosa no haría nunca
Yo te mentí porque la libertad te asusta.
A vos te gusta que haya buenos, que haya malos,
Yo creo que todos somos héroes y villanos.
Si te dejo en una habitación,
Frente a frente con Charly García
Te orinarías y saldrías corriendo,
Te daría miedo no lo bancarías.
No seas tarada no podes sacarte fotos
Con el león que se come a las fieras
El rock and roll tiene la sagacidad
Y la energía de sobrevivir y soñar.
A mi me gusta john ford, a vos el pochoclo.
En tu hollywood soy sapo de otro pozo.
Así mis muertos viven en las calles,
Hay que abrazarlos con amor y acompañar su viaje.
A vos te gusta leer mucho las revistas,
A mi quemar televisores en la esquina.
Algunos quieren volver a golpear cuarteles,
Otros se hacen los Guevaras sin laureles.
Si te dejo en una habitación,
Frente a frente con Charly García
Te orinarías y saldrías corriendo,
Te daría miedo no lo bancarias
No sean tarados no pueden sacase fotos
Con el león que se come a las fieras.
El rock and roll tiene la sagacidad
Y la energía de sobrevivir, sangrar y amar.
Hay que sacarle la careta a todo el mundo,
No bajar tanta linea, amar, ser futuro.
A vos te gusta tener la razón constante,
A mi me gusta el delirio disonante.
También me gusta ir a ladrarle a la luna
Mientras vos no podes salirte de la cuna.
Rock and roll revolución,
Va todo abierto la sangre al palo bombo y tambor.
Rock and roll revolución,
El odio vive al lado del amor.
Rock and roll revolución,
Back to mono, no me tapes el sol.
No tengo tiempo para explicarte todo,
El rock and roll es relajarse de otro modo.
No me hables de política nena
Quiero ser tu love,
Y que me toques dentro de mi pantalón.
El mundo es una bala disparada a ningún lado,
El caos es el orden bien interpretado.

Lyrics translation

You think of your revolution
I think you're missing a lot of rock and roll.
What the fuck are your cultural battles
If you're afraid of sidereal artists.
You asked me what I would never do
I lied to you because freedom scares you.
You like there's good, there's bad,
I think we're all heroes and villains.
If I leave you in a room,
Face to face with Charly Garcia
You'd piss and run away,
You'd be afraid not to bank it.
Don't be a fool. you can't take pictures.
With the lion that eats the beasts
Rock and roll has the sagacity
And the energy to survive and dream.
I like john ford, you like the little one.
In your hollywood I'm a toad from another well.
So my dead live in the streets,
We must embrace them with love and accompany their journey.
You like to read magazines a lot,
My burning TVs in the corner.
Some want to hit barracks again,
Others make Guevaras without laurels.
If I leave you in a room,
Face to face with Charly Garcia
You'd piss and run away,
You'd be scared. you wouldn't bank it.
Don't be stupid. you can't take pictures.
With the lion that eats the beasts.
Rock and roll has the sagacity
And the energy of surviving, bleeding and loving.
We gotta get everybody's face off.,
Don't go down that line, Love, Be future.
You like to have constant reason,
I like dissonant delirium.
I also like to go barking at the moon
As long as you can't get out of the crib.
Rock and roll revolution,
It's all open blood to the drum and drum stick.
Rock and roll revolution,
Hate lives next to love.
Rock and roll revolution,
Back to monkey, don't cover my sun.
I don't have time to explain everything.,
Rock and roll is to relax in another way.
Don't talk to me about politics, baby.
I want to be your love,
And touch me inside my pants.
The world is a bullet shot nowhere,
Chaos is the well-interpreted order.
