Adan Garcia

The last day in the life of Adán Garcia
Found him like all the others from his past
Dreaming of winning the jackpot in the lottery
His children and wife sleeping by his side

Adán left his house at noon
After a very heated argument
His wife wanted to ask for money from her in-laws
And Adán kissed his children while shouting

This is over, life
The illusion is gone, old woman
And time is my enemy
Instead of living in fear
It's better to die smiling
With the memory alive

For the last time he entered the neighborhood store
And there they trusted him a pack of cigarettes
They saw him walking down Central Avenue
Without direction, hands in his pockets

Since Adán was fired from his job, a neighbor said
I noticed a very strange change in his behavior
He was always very lively, now he was quiet
But in the tranquility of the desperate

The police report says Adán entered a Bank
And shouted at a cashier to give him
All the money she had in her cash register
And if she didn't do it soon, he would kill her

The man threatened me with a gun, a lady said
That's why I gave him whatever he wanted
For the kind of salary they pay me here
I'm not going to risk the life God gave me

They say that when Adán ran out of the Bank
He found a patrol car parked in front
That ignored the guard who told him to stop
He was running, shouting, and smiling like a madman

The next day, the newspapers published
The photo of his corpse in his underwear
Adán's widow read on the front page
Thief used his child's water gun as a revolver

This is over, life
The illusion is gone, old woman
And time is my enemy
And for me to live in fear
I prefer to die smiling
With the memory alive
