Bulldog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hay gente que te ama y te empieza a odiar
Te alza, te baja y te vuelve a enterrar
Ya ves, no es de preocupar
Son cosas de la vida cosas del azar
Es parte de este juego de andar y andar
Voy a hacer lo que tenga ganas de hacer
Sin prejuicios sin cartel
Sentir lo que tenga ganas de sentir
Y serle fiel a mi existir
Sin sentirme diferente aquí
Ya vez, no es ser esencial,
Es saber hacer las cosas sin hacerse notar
Es mirar el mundo desde aca
Ya ves, que no es tan normal
Que si antes te amaban te empiecen a odiar
Es que sus cabezas no le dan más
Y montar un estudio en el sol
Invitar a lennon y a Joey, a cantar una canción
Es decir lo que tenga ganas de decir
Sin tener miedo a morir sin sentirme discriminado aquí
Voy a hacer lo que tenga ganas de hacer
Sin prejuicios sin cartel
Sin quebrarme la cabeza
Y montar un estudio en el sol
Invitar a lennon y a Joey, a cantar una canción
Ya ves, yo sigo igual es hora de que cambies tu mentalidad
