No Quiero
El Bordo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No quiero ser lo que no es verdad
No quiero ser algún pasatiempo
No quiero nada de un mulo infiel
Que te emborracha y lustra su alimento.
No quiero darte un slogan mas
Si lo que digo no entra en tu cabeza
No quiero ver como maquillás a la mentira solo para tu riqueza.
No quiero tener que controlar
Eso que siento para que no duela
No quiero tener que imaginar
Un mundo nuevo porque el nuestro es el que explota.
No quiero ver la codicia entrar por esa puerta que el bolsillo compra
No quiero ver mas tu saña izar
Esa bandera que nunca propone nada.
Sim embargo me apiado de mi
Si este dolor no cesa y viene otra trompada
(ya se hizo tarde).
¡Voy a gritar una cancion por lo que ya no quiero!
No voy a perder esta otra ocasion
Vas liberando tus fantasmas al atardecer.
No quiero ver cuando me miras
Y en mis palabras nace tu miseria
No quiero ser eso que engendras
Cuando el oido es la unica salida.
No quiero ver tan superficial
Voy a poner en foco el fuera de foco
No quiero cuentos del mas alla
Quiero vivir las cosas a mi modo.
