El Blues de La Violencia

Violence they say at the slightest rebellion
Their violence that doesn't change for being from the institution
They demand respect for human freedom
And they invite you to respect with sticks and kicks

Peaceful demonstrations, even better if they are silent
The ideal is to never overcome the resignation that sometimes drugs us
A drug they give us with words
Like tolerance, to tolerate that I don't understand that here we feel too much anger

Anger to build, we arm ourselves on their ruin
Dignity guides us, their repression our daily bread...
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Of course, sometimes they go too far,
and an accident happens,

We're not going to respect your law of the jungle
Respect is mutual and if it's not called violence
Their violence, of politicians who don't represent anyone
But they do condemn
Who talk about terrorism and call us anti-system

Concentrations in front of dictators' embassies
As always, the state's dogs doing all the honors
Slap anyone who gets too close to the bars
That defend the security of torturer governments

This is democracy, that's what they call it, yes sir
Be careful not to talk about throwing a Molotov cocktail
Because that would be falling into the end justifies the means
If the end is to obey so they can keep deciding
We're not so bad, after all we can't complain
In the Sahara they have it worse, lucky we don't have
Anything to worry about in the end they say, nothing, tough luck, that's life
And don't you dare do anything violent or they'll call the police

Violence they say at the slightest rebellion
Their violence that doesn't change for being from the institution
They demand respect for the dignity of each person
And they are the ones who trample on every new reform

They call violence to expropriate private property
Which in the end is the right of every enlightened person
Whoever wants it paid for should have to mortgage
Not live working, not have dreams to pay for

Pay to whom? because it turns out they are the same ones who deserve respect
and suddenly it seems like there's a war here, it's not our invention
The only way out is to create a radical change
So let's stop delegating our lives to an uncertain future
Let the social revolution begin every day
