Falling into Favor

Better to fall into favor than to try to be funny
But if you've got money, being ridiculous doesn't matter much.
Better to fall into favor so you won't be a loser
But if you've got money, the world is on your side.

The foolishness of Mr. Cash doesn't matter much
When he's drunk, he only speaks in slurs;
According to Carlota, it's the trend among the bourgeois
If I did it, they'd hang me by the balls...

Lady Luisa's escapades don't matter much
When she sleeps with half the world while vacationing in Switzerland;
According to Carlota, it's just youthful antics
If I were Mary Luz, they'd hang me on a cross...

Constantine's gestures don't matter much
There are many signs that betray him inside;
According to Carlota, they're the manners of a refined guy
If it were me, they'd call me a fairy...

Better to fall into favor than to try to be funny.
In a concrete world, hypocrisy drives us crazy.
Better to fall into favor so you won't be a loser.
So you won't be a salty fish
So you won't be a salty fish, salty, salty
Better to fall into favor than to try to be funny.
In the moment of embarrassment, a coin covers everything
Better to fall into favor so you won't be a loser.
So you won't be a salty fish
Two salty fish, three salty fish, four salty fish.

Get on a bill and you'll see
The pull, pull this way
Get on a bill and you'll see
That everything comes your way
Stand tough and you'll see
That you won't be a prisoner
Everyone wants to greet you
That you won't be a prisoner of the eternal gossip.
