La gente del futuro
Miguel Cantilo
The people of the future
Time is running out, the century is leaving
Frantic advances, the nuclear era
The cry of a man, gets lost among a thousand
And the young people of the year 2000 are born
And where are the brilliant scientists now
Inventing the bomb of peaceful rays
And where are the critical philosophers now
Tinting their words with political interests
And where is the good, under whom
Where is an example that serves as law
The crisis of man is almost total
He sees only values in the material
He imposes force over the subtle
His weak conscience, drags him to be vile
And where are the psychoanalysts now
Calming the neurosis of the shareholders
And where are the pacifist hippies now
Fighting to support their families
And where are you famous guru
Now that they have left and turned off the light
This is the people of the future, and this present so tough
Is the material with which we will build a total tomorrow
It's useless to stab yourself
Crying the letter of the fatal tango
We have to make ourselves a better world
Because this one is sick and we are not
And where is the desire to live a party
It's not worth holding back when the orchestra plays
And where will that protest torch be now
Singing loudly their new proposal
And where are you and where am I
Riding the music of rock'n roll
This is the people of the future, and this present so rushed
Is the material with which we will build a total tomorrow
Is the material with which we will build a total tomorrow
Is the material with which we will make a total tomorrow
Is the material with which we will make a total tomorrow
