Cancion de la mala gente
Les Luthiers
Song of the Bad People
Chorus:
We're the bad people, bad people,
we're the bad people, bad people.
We use our minds
our cruel feelings
to do evil, to torment
we're all bad people.
We're all bad people,
bad people, bad people, bad people.
What some rumor says,
that the bad ones are the fewest
that deep down we're good,
it's simply a mistake.
The truth of the matter
is that the world is wrong,
the smile on our face
has another explanation.
By fulfilling our duty
to sow suffering
we fill ourselves with contentment,
with joy, with pleasure.
We use our minds
our cruel feelings
to do evil, to torment
we're all bad people.
We're all bad people,
bad people, bad people, bad people.
In the judgments of the flock
no concessions are allowed
because affections and emotions
are punished by the law.
Whoever commits a good deed
must be punished,
tortured, exonerated
and sent to prison.
The truly wicked
are instead rewarded
and receive, acclaimed,
the great prize for evil.
We use our minds
our cruel feelings
to do evil, to torment
we're all bad people.
We're all bad people,
bad people, bad people,
bad people, bad people.
