Los Idiotas
Calle 13
The Idiots
Some are born idiots
Others learn to be
Others act like idiots
And try to convince us
You can think what you want
Today arithmetic won't save you
Everyone has
A percentage of idiocy
In their genetics
To separate us with arrogance
That in the world we are the center
Better to unify
With the idiot that
We all carry inside
Christopher Columbus discovered America
By pure coincidence
That's why, to be an idiot
Intelligence is required
Idiocy has
Its advantages
It's the only disease
Where the patient doesn't suffer
Except everyone around them
Asking good questions
Helps prevent contagion
Idiocy is collective
When no one questions things
This disease doesn't allow you to lie
Because it shows
That's why, when you're in love
You smile like an idiot
Idiots feel secure
With everything they say
Because
They talk about what they know
And what they don't know
They make up
Although it sounds strange
I listen to idiots
To have a smart person
Who says nothing
I prefer an idiot who talks a lot
And of everything they talk about
I may have heard some good idea
Of those that the wise kept to themselves
For fear of being judged
An idiot is one
Who doesn't learn
From the past
An uninformed person
Who doesn't listen
To the informed
An idiot
Below the level
An idiot is
The one who thinks
Everyone is an idiot
Except them
Among all the tasks
That an employee performs
The most idiotic task
Is the one that isn't enjoyed
When looking for a job
It's good to act like an idiot
Because
When you're brilliant
They prefer not to hire you
Keeping intelligent people
Down, without growing
Is the most important rule
Of an idiot in power
But, it would be foolish
To take life seriously
Idiots are needed
For comedy to exist
And to make fun of them
And also of oneself
Being an idiot isn't bad
If you see it optimistically
Little understanding
And too much explanation is exhausting
One is smarter
When thinking like an idiot
You simplify the answers
In this complicated world
While the wise worries
The idiot is relaxed
Although idiocy
Can also make you nervous
There's nothing more worrying
Than a dangerous idiot
Their most dangerous weapon
Is misinforming people
They are dangerous idiots
With presidential faces
Here no one is perfect
We all make mistakes
We need to be idiots
To learn to be better
An idiot is one
Who doesn't learn
From the past
An uninformed person
Who doesn't listen
To the informed
An idiot
Below the level
An idiot is
The one who thinks
Everyone is an idiot
Except them
