Quiero Paz
Genitallica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De estar cansado lo vuelve nuevo
Yo se que afecta mi cuerpo
Que me haré mal y me lleva lejos
(Muy lejos, bien lejos)
Una enfermedad que por suerte no era sexual
Alteraba mi comportamiento natural
Mi vida en ese caso ya no me interesa
Fui a ver al doctor a ver si me ayudaba
A salirme del infierno donde yo estaba
No me dejaba tomar cerveza
Mi vida en ese caso ya no me interesa
Medicamento medicamento
El doctor me receto medicamento
Medicamento medicamento
El doctor me receto medicamento
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz, quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
(De color, de color)
Yo se que afecta mi cuerpo
Mata neuronas de mi cerebro
Yo se que afecta mi cuerpo
Con el exceso me pongo necio (muy necio, bien necio)
El doctor me dijo tu no puedes tomar
Por que alcohol y medicinas no se deben de mezclar
No me dejaba tomar cerveza
Mi vida en ese caso ya no me interesa
Le pedí una receta para ver si me la daba
Y el doctor me dijo que yo ya no la necesitaba
No me dejaba tomar pastillas
No sabe de la suerte que me daba con las niñas
Medicamento medicamento
El doctor me receto medicamento
Medicamento medicamento
El doctor me receto medicamento
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
(De color, de color)
El viejo Mc Donald tenia una farmacéutica, ia ia drogs

El viejo Mc Donald tenia una farmacéutica, ia ia drogs
Y el distribuía por todo el firmamento, ia ia drogs
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas
Quiero paz quiero pastillas (de color, de color, de color)
In Genitallica's song "Quiero Paz," the lyrics discuss the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse on the body. The first two lines state "Yo se que afecta mi cuerpo/De estar cansado lo vuelve nuevo" which means "I know it affects my body/It turns tiredness into something new." The lyrics highlight the fact that drugs can make one feel renewed but can have serious consequences. The next few lines state "Una enfermedad que por suerte no era sexual/Alteraba mi comportamiento natural" which translates to "A disease that thankfully wasn't sexual/Altered my natural behavior". The singer in the song is relieved that the disease he contracted was not sexually transmitted, but the disease's impact on him is still negative.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Quiero paz quiero pastillas" or "I want peace, I want pills," implying that the singer wants a quick and easy fix for his problems rather than dealing with them head-on. The lyrics continue to emphasize the doctor's warning not to mix alcohol and medication: "El doctor me dijo tu no puedes tomar/Porque alcohol y medicinas no se deben de mezclar" which means "The doctor told me I couldn't drink/Because alcohol and medication shouldn't be mixed." The song ends with the lyrics "El viejo Mc Donald tenia una farmacéutica, ia ia drogs/Y el distribuía por todo el firmamento, ia ia drogs" which means "Old McDonald had a pharmaceutical, ia ia drugs/And distributed it all over the universe, ia ia drugs." This line highlights the pharmaceutical industry's role in drug addiction and the wider distribution of drugs.
