Boikot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amenazan la esperanza
Destrozando las razones
Opresión
Borraremos sus pintadas
Tacharemos sus colores
Y si te amenazan
Hoy les respondemos
Y si te torturan
Hoy atacaremos
Y si nos preguntan
Mañana les diremos
Que no, que no
Distorsión
Manipulan la esperanza
Represión por soluciones
Jódelos, Jódelos
Organiza tus ideas
Reventando reuniones
Y si te amenazan
Hoy les respondemos
Y si te torturan
Hoy atacaremos
Y si nos preguntan
Mañana les diremos
Que no, que no.
