Hipocresía

Rubén Blades Rubén Blades

Hypocrisy

Society's falling apart, every family at war
Corruption and mismanagement turn the city into a
Hell, screams and accusations, lies and betrayals
Make reason disappear, indifference is born
Consciousness is erased, and no ideal remains
And everyone swears they don’t get why their dreams
Are turning to shit today, and they talk about the past in the
Present, blaming others for the problem
Of our shared hypocrisy

The heart becomes a fortress, its motto is every man for himself
And so, the face of a friend merges with that of an enemy
The media stirs up confusion, and the
Truth is a lie and vice versa, our disillusionment breeds
Desperation, and the cycle repeats with more force
And lost in the cacophony, the will of an
Entire people drowns, and between insults and Hail Marys, I can’t tell
The difference between prisoner and jailer, inside the hypocrisy!

There are no left or right: Just excuses and
Pretexts, a battered rhetoric, for a planet of
Ambidextrous folks, there’s no family unity, no social justice
No solidarity with the neighbor, that’s where the evil comes from
And official abuse ends up blocking our path
And everyone insists they don’t get why today’s dreams
Are turning to shit, and we talk about the past in the
Present, letting the future slip away
Living in hypocrisy hypocrisy hypocrisy
