El hombre-mono tenía razón

Apeman

I think I'm sophisticated 'cos I'm living my life like a good homo sapiens
But all around me everybody's multiplying and they're walking round like flies, man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo, man
'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilised 'cos strict vegetarian
And with the over population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a king-kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm a apeman
Compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an apeman
La, la, la, la...

In man's evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble
But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
'Cos the only time that I feel at ease
is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
Oh, what a life of luxury, to be like an apeman

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a king-kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm a apeman

I look out the window but I can't see the sky
'cos the air pollution is a fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an apeman

Come and love me, be my apeman girl
And we'll be so happy in my apeman world

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a king-kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm a apeman

I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
Just like an apeman

Sisters and Brothers

We shall be released

They say ev’rything can be replaced
Yet ev’ry distance is not near
So I remember ev’ry face
Of ev’ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say ev’ry man needs protection
They say ev’ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he’s not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

La mansión sin amor

A Mansion on the Hill

Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and O how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill

Do you recall when we parted
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without loving
In your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years love
To give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill

The light shine bright from yer window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

Hank Williams

PRI-MI-TI-VO, así es como vivo

Primitive

What I don't know

can never hurt me
I live a life that's working for me
what I respect you just can't see
what you expect I'll never be
Primitive
that's how I'll live
primitive
I take what you give
cause I love and I live
primitive
the things I do you'd never try
what I get free you have to buy
I'm proud of my life but don't ask me why
cause if I told ya, I'd probably...
primitive
that's how I live
primtive
I'll take what you give
cause I love and I live
primitive primitive
that's how I live
primtive
I'll take what you give
cause I love and I live
primitive

Que no, que no

And your bird can sing

You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me

You say you've seen seven wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me

When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be round

When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

John Lennon

Ahí está la pared...

The Man Don't Give a Fuck

Spent some times in stormy weather
under clouds of my dilemma
Now there's nothing much to do
except for sitting in front of televisions
staring back at me
I'm just waiting for the microwaves
to wash me into the sea

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else

Out of focus ideology
keep the masses from majority
Experts blame my stupid plan
Left to bleed while vultures glide

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else

Adiós al malogrado Michael


They Don't Care About Us



Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation / Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news / Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead / Everybody's gone mad

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Beat me, hate me / You can never break me
Will me, thrill me / You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me / Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me / Don't you black or white me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
trepidation, speculation / Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news / Everybody dog food
black man, black male / Throw your brother in jail

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation / Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me / You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me / You can never get me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be

Skin head, dead head / Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation / Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news / Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me / Don't you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Recalificando el paraíso

Big Yellow Taxi

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique

And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got

'Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot


They took all the trees

Put 'em in a tree museum

And they charged the people

A dollar an a half just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got

'Till it's gone

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer

Put away that D.D.T. now

Give me spots on my apples

But leave me the birds and the bees

Please!

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got

'Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot


Late last night

I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi

Took away my old man

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got

'Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot


Joni Mitchell
