Así Son Las Cosas

The world is going to hell but who the hell cares
If life is a shitty story too short
To tell your grandchildren or maybe not even that
Some kill for love but others die for a kiss

I confess, cursed world of fools
Everything can be bought here, you just have to put a price on it
This world is filled with greed
And the hours slip away from the clock just because you waste them

Envy brings nothing good, revenge even less
Looks convey hatred, words release poison
And it's strange because time separates us
But it separates us so we never see each other's faces again

Destiny prepares us for the truth
I search for the meaning of life because I don't know where it is
I'm lost and without a way out in this eternal darkness
I walk in fear and to top it off without a flashlight

We're just cattle in a fucking crazy world
Be careful, those on your side are few
Everyone watches you closely, maybe you've noticed
That's how things are and that's how I've told you

Tell me who I can ask?
How am I going to end up here, if I didn't even know how to start
Reality is not as the eyes show you, another unanswered mystery
With more and more burdens to bear

We're just puppets in this huge theater
Real friends, one, two, three at most four
Tired of being told what I can't do, you're not the one
To draw a line that separates good from evil

They say happy endings don't exist
Ask my heart that demands compensation
For all the suffering endured and caused
I've committed a crime, that's why they subject me to the third degree

Balcony for life to the channel of the unhappy
There's no spell to heal this scar
My heart hardened by varnish, another matrix doesn't exist
Are you coming to screw me over? Go back where you came from

We're just cattle in a fucking crazy world
Be careful, those on your side are few
Everyone watches you closely, maybe you've noticed
That's how things are and that's how I've told you

Drugs and alcohol can ruin your life
The one that opens so many doors to close off your exits
And you have to toughen up to withstand the blows
We stumble on the same stone because we're clumsy

Or because of that blindfold that hides your eyes
Crying is not for the weak nor for the lazy
The distance between love and hate is short
To me, loneliness keeps me company on this sheet of paper

Although there are falls that don't hurt, they always leave scars
And your dreams fade away like the years with the candles
That you blow out yourself, forget the resentment and forgive
Look inside yourself, your values make you who you are

And too much gratuitous violence against the unjust
I know you can, don't stay silent just scream
If you need to, even though the greatest pain is not physical, and you know it
You'll know if you give more chances or not

We're just cattle in a fucking crazy world
Be careful, those on your side are few
Everyone watches you closely, maybe you've noticed
That's how things are and that's how I've told you

Beauty is subjective, it's in the eyes of the beholder
And you're free from this prison controlled by those above
It's business and dirty money, do you believe what you see
Everything is a big lie in plain sight on the internet

The world is crazy, that's why you challenge a God
Who gave some so much and others so little
But in reality we're all the same, nothing makes us better
There's no one perfect because we all make mistakes

Good people will continue to be a minority
And happiness fades as age increases
So, live as you want while you can
Because you'll never know exactly how much time you have left

Because death is easy, life is fragile like glass
You have to be agile to dodge life's blows
No one is saved although I hope I'm wrong
That's how things are and that's how I've told you
