Patios de Cristal
Real de Catorce
Glass Courtyards
I need another street to rock and roll
a new house where I can live
the sidewalk's shine is starting to blind me
the police gaze of the local dogs.
Riding on the highway
riding on the highway.
I dropped out of school due to lack of action
and traded my subjects for indoor soccer
in the land of the blind, I ran into the King
I can't stand the debt anymore
I can't stand the law.
Riding on the highway
riding on the highway.
I hear voices at night, God's calling
I need a drink, I need a doctor
my friends bore me, always the same old tune
something's happening on the corner of this poor nation.
Riding on the highway
riding on the highway.
The rebellious boys died of alcohol
they grabbed their rags and left
they didn't change the world, didn't set the sun on fire
much less now these PRI kids.
Riding on the highway
riding on the highway.
Don't wish me good morning.
The walls escape, they won't let themselves be painted.
I want to see you surrender with your hands behind your back.
I have crazy kids, playing at love
they take out their knives, cut their toys
paint the sun with their blood.
Riding on the highway
riding on the highway.
There's violence in the streets
there's violence in my father and mother's bed
there's violence in your crucifixion
there's violence in your violation
there's violence in your television...
Riding on the highway
riding on the highway.
When I was born, this was already a prison
when I was born, this was already a prison
I've lived here in its glass courtyards
I've lived here in its glass courtyards.
