Barras Y Estrellas

Under the tears of God
a man was born who wanted to control the world
deception, wars, oppression, lies,
made the United States of America
the greatest nation in history

About its politics... don't believe anything
and about its ethics... don't believe anything
fanatic nation... don't believe anything
this is America... don't believe anything

Once upon a time in America
a powerful land, a nervous population
and too hysterical
centuries of historical greatness
I don't want to create controversy if I say it's tragic for me.

They started by stealing slaves from Africa
their grandchildren today are men trapped in prisons like Attica
radical, fanatical moral and ethics
and each one controls their own life

Families that smile in public and cry alone
children who buy guns just like Coca-Colas
at all hours gunshots and alarm voices are heard
but the rich don't notice, their neighborhoods are calm

Where is the necessary common sense U.S.A. is the law
they lie to us every news broadcast
because Mr. George Bush is the biggest fascist
and any foreigner is a suspected terrorist
military imperialism on their magazine covers
everything for the money, economist instinct
while their flag waves, everyone boasts
of the high spheres they mingle with
creating an illusion the anthem of a nation
...do you hear it...
from California to Harlem from the Down Jones to the projects
Bowling for Columbine
explains what's there, so much repression and ego it's just me ____
try the American Pie and then vomit

thinking about the peace that this hypocritical government takes away from us
today it's Afghanistan and Saddam yesterday Vietnam
Uncle Sam needs you, run and attend his appointment

bars and stars
bars and stars
don't believe anything

America land of colossi, lifestyle of the rich and powerful
its laws and ideas its norms and slogans
...do you believe in them?...
America, do you live among bars or among stars
America, land of mafiosi, lifestyle of the poor and dangerous
its laws and ideas its norms and slogans
...do you believe in them?...
America, do you live among bars or among stars

Because there are super villains and there are no superheroes
if you don't believe me, tell me, who saved those two towers?
people run and traffic is never still
without further ado you go from the neighborhood, residential or to the ghetto
practice the freedom of expression that has been granted to you
criticize their absurd war and you will be punished
it's in the air

America, is dying slowly and it has brought it upon itself
polluting the planet
Aznar and Blair are just puppets in this game
and the world burns in the fire of their infernal dominion
every oriental country that disobeys is in the axis of evil
and big companies that control the electoral campaign
for their own benefit, that drives me crazy
and in the mall, Latinos and black people are victims of police racism
and await judgment

Dirty society of vices and criminals
innocent young people in the death row
because if you're different, no one forgives your slip
relax, Hollywood will give you a happy ending

It's the American dream within your reach
if you do something productive your effort will not be in vain
if America loses control
you give baseball, a Thanksgiving Day
or a play station, one nation
blinded by giving and giving veile
in Ohio and Arkansas, in Queens to Beverly Hills
the history of luxury and crime
how do you live, tell me
behind the bars of that cell next to movie stars
