Chilatown

Living in the belly button of the planet
A recurring dream of the prophet
Nefarious
Walking in the city of palaces
Insurgent warriors
Showing you that we are different
Intelligence and voice
We are not one nor two
With so much pollution my words feed
With so much corruption my stories grow
Ignorant minds become violent
They look at us weirdly in the streets
The fools who don't understand in detail
The head of the church
Living in opulence
Misery and delinquency
Front page frequently say
Have patience say
For them, you are nobody
And that's why they curse
Complexed education system
The government doesn't like to remind you
Of past mistakes
But yes, your support for the telethon
Salinas came to Mexico to say he's not a thief
We applaud the mistakes of the damn national team
What a contradiction
But it's the reality
And despite everything
Chilatown is my city

Chorus:
Chilatown
We live in Chilatown
Chilatown
I represent Chila-ilatown (2x)

Appearing
I'm flowing daily
They change our schedule
They don't even leave the calendar in peace
All together like idiots
Watching the academy
Arjonas and Shakiras voice
It's the epidemic
National tragedies
The escape from prison of some drug lords
And no one says anything
No one knows who Marcos is
Many children with a leftist pose
Replacing the images of Che
Like a trend in magazines
With classist practices
And still defend Zapatista ideals
False idealists
They are just simplistic
The government people now want to tell you
Where not to go
Where to walk
What to vote for
Pay your taxes
Or they take away your right to breathe
That we are oil producers
And we don't have gasoline
Now imagine
You can't even buy an aspirin
What a contradiction
But it's the reality
And despite everything
Chilatown in my city

Chorus:
Chilatown
We live in Chilatown
Chilatown
I represent Chila-ilatown (2x)

And still you don't believe
People only watch
Soap operas
And that idiot Derbez
There's always a congressman who thinks he's above the law
Dreaming of being white
Fake artists
Who dominate the scene
Turn on the radio now
And look for the president's show
We want to learn
They repress aspirations of knowledge
They control pleasure
They ban our books if we want to read
They impose dry law
When it's time to drink
What will happen
What will occur
I want to know
What a contradiction
But it's the reality
And despite it all, Chilatown is my city

Chorus:
Chilatown
We live in Chilatown
Chilatown
I represent Chila-ilatown (2x)
