Pirata

Pirate,
not everything that shines is silver
listen to my advice
freedom or stamp.

You are waiting for my song to feed you
you are getting fat with my art and besides
you put a stamp on it, a nice photo and you want to sell it
you didn't invent anything and you take the best part.

oh how pretty the little sign
announcing a total hit
total, total for what.

If it sells like crazy and it's number one on the radios
it's fourteen pesos you grab per unit
what you recorded today is managed by a fool
who keeps the rest, from the rest of the total.

On my flag there's a skull
freedom or stamp
listen to my advice.

Pirate,
not everything that shines is silver
listen to my advice
freedom or stamp.

And this is the singer who promises you the fireworks
the poster, the magazine, the tour and much more
it's not that we don't want to see the records and the bills
if the money appears, you won't take it.

Today I tell you don't count on me
even with one eye
I see much more.

Pirate,
not everything that shines is silver
listen to my advice
freedom or stamp.
