Manipulated

Manipulado

Eres cómplice cuando callas
A todas las injusticias
A todo lo que pasa.
Te quieren sumiso
Te quieren pasivo.
Te quieren callado
Te quieren destuido
Te quieren asustado
Te quieren arrodillado
Te quieren acabado
Te quieren desorientado
Y esperas el llamado
El llamado de la libertad
Y desesperado
Por la opresion del estado
Empiezas a luchar
Por un mundo mejorado
Donde ya no exista
La palabra gobernar
Y donde amor
Respeto y igualdad
Es aquello de lo que nuestros hijos
Sin parar dejan de hablar
Donde soñar ya no sea ilegal
Y juntos como hermanos caminar
En este largo camino que se llama paz.


Manipulated

You are an accomplice when you keep quiet
About all the injustices,
About all that is going on.
They want you submissive
They want you passive
They want you kept quiet.
They want you destroyed
They want you scared
They want you on your knees.
They want you finished
They want you disoriented
And you wait for the call,
The Call of Liberty.
And in desperation
At the oppression of the State
You begin to struggle
For a better world
Where the word 'govern'
No longer exists
A world where love
And respect and dignity
Is the way our children
Know to act and speak,
A world where to dream
Is no longer against the law
And together as sisters and brothers
We walk the broad path of Peace.
