Chivo Expiatorio

El Cuarteto de Nos El Cuarteto de Nos

Scapegoat

Pandora was walking
Walking down the street alone
Alone with her box, she ignores
What could it be?, what could it be?, what could it be that she treasures?

Some will say it's just a vase
And to confuse, distract attention
And they accuse her, taking for granted
That her curiosity is already a sin

And they send word in a sort of plot
If the box is opened, evil will begin to spread
And everything will go wrong because of her control
And they start to attack her, insult and threaten

To pursue, they want to steal the box from her
Because there is the curse that will break the symmetry
Here where peace and harmony always reigned

Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
With all the weight, all the weight, yes!
With all the weight (uh!)

As in every conspiracy, the sentence is harsh
For those who have doubts, go and ask Judas
To whom they hit for his malice
As if betrayal and greed did not exist

Come here, let's build this doll to burn
He is cruelty, he is violence
(Hang him, kick him)
Tighten the knot like no other

He is impure and he always knew it, make this dark being smoke
(Light it, burn it)
And among smiles (burn it)
Let the breeze (burn it)

Take away flying also our guilt along with its ashes
After each sacrifice is when we feel relief

(Ha, ha, ha, ha) to keep that macabre balance intact
(Ha-ah-ah) and in that symbolic act
(Ha-ah-ah) in an elliptical form
(Ha-ah-ah) we purge the diabolic
(Ha-ah-ah) with zero self-criticism

It's more an ally than an adversary
Pointed with the accusatory finger
There is no need for a bloody conflict
As long as there is a scapegoat at hand

If there is no air, there are no flames
Without Pandoras, there are no dramas
Without a fool, there is no wise
Without a Judas, there is no Christ

Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
With all the weight, all the weight, yes!
With all the weight (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
Someone will always carry the blame
