UN BUEN HOMBRE

I used to dream of privilege
I would answer richly when they asked
What will you be when you grow up?, in school
I didn't know that my soul was the price to pay

I didn't know how much had to be sacrificed
They taught me
That buying a piece of heaven on earth is very expensive
The desire to possess the trophy is what they instilled in me
That's how they educated me
I was never bad
I am a good man

I made mistakes to drown in a sea of correction fluid
The old story repeats itself
I always stumbled on the same stone
I called it destiny and made it my amulet

Here we all keep secrets
Demon disguised in the concrete
I mortgage every second and don't ask for respect
I no longer regret when I sin, Salam aleikum

I hear the echo of my reflections
I just try to find peace
That's what a good man does
Or so it's supposed

Even if there's no one around to watch
Now I have to make a decision
And I know I have to do it coldly
But when the fire burns in my heart
I act without thinking

I am a good man
I am a good man
Who feels that the world
Doesn't give him everything he deserves

And sometimes he escapes from the herd
When the night is darker
But I always come back
The rebellious son
Returns home

I know I carry a demon inside
The world's evil seeped into my soul until it blinded me
I don't know if I'm a good man anymore, give me the courage
To fight my inner demons
My inner demons
To fight my inner demons
