Por Eso Estamos Como Estamos
Los Apson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ya las cosas no andan bien
pues parece que a la gente
se les fue el seso a los pies.
Que esta ciega la justicia
esto tú lo puedes ver
en la ultima refriega
Por eso estamos como estamos,
por eso nunca progresamos,
si tal parece que gozamos
poner las cosas al revés.
Por eso estamos como estamos,
por eso nunca progresamos,
por tanto genio y tanto sabio
que juegan yoyo en el café.
Los parientes afligidos
de un hotel los tenis cuelgan,
un doctor piden a gritos
no hay ninguno están en huelga.
Ayer yo busqué un gendarme
pues robaron a mi tía
y él me contestó muy fresco
debuté en la policía.
Por eso estamos como estamos,
por eso nunca progresamos,
si tal parece que gozamos
poner las cosas al revés.
Por eso estamos como estamos,
por eso nunca progresamos,
por tanto genio y tanto sabio
que juegan yoyo en el café.
Esas figuras extrañas
de ajustados pantalones
no son chicas son las mañas
de los nuevos rebeldones.
Ayer pregunté a un niñito
qué deseaba ser de grande
y me contestó quedito:
"A sus hermanas ligarme".
Por eso estamos como estamos,
por eso nunca progresamos,
si tal parece que gozamos
poner las cosas al revés.
Por eso estamos como estamos,
por eso nunca progresamos,
por eso estamos como estamos,
si todo se hace con los pies.
The lyrics of Los Apson's song "Por eso estamos como estamos" point out the issues and challenges that the society in which we live faces today. The first verse of the song states that the world is not doing well and that people have lost their minds. The second verse states that justice is blind, and the recent fight shows that even the judge is found guilty.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that because of all these issues, we as a society cannot progress. It appears that people are content with doing everything backward, which hinders the progress of the community. The lyrics also mention the afflictions and difficulties that ordinary people face, like the family who is seeking medical attention, but none is available due to a strike by healthcare professionals.
The song also talks about the lack of responsibility and accountability among those in responsible positions. For example, the police officer tasked with solving a robbery case does not take the matter seriously but instead relishes the opportunity to showcase his newly acquired skills.
In conclusion, the song highlights the challenges and difficulties faced by society despite the apparent progress made in other areas.
