Cállate
Obús Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He escuchado en la televisión
A tres tipos enterrándonos
Dicen que era la cultura rock
La programan desde torrejón

Ellos, no la entienden, no la viven,
No saben lo que nosostros queremos oir
No saben que significa amar el rock and roll
Odian a una juventud que les olvidó

Si supieran lo que siento cuando toco rock
Ellos tuvieron su tiempo y ya pasó

Deben preguntarles antes a uno de sus nietos
Porque se le van los pies con el rock and roll
Porque se olvidaron las coplillas de la abuela
Y se apuntaron a ésto como tu y yo

Si supieran lo que siento cuando canto rock
Ellos tuvieron su tiempo y ya pasó

Tu cállate
No entiendes nuestra movida
Cállate

Tu cállate
No entiendes nuestra movida
Cállate
Tu

Es esta esta respuesta a tus desvaríos
Aún no hemos llenado el madison ya llegará
El rock es más importante de lo que te piensas
Él es el vehículo que nos hace soñar

No me calientes el coco con cuentos de ayer
Ellos tuvieron su tiempo, y ya pasó

Tu cállate
No entiendes nuestra movida
Cállate

Tu cállate
No entiendes nuestra movida
Cállate
Tu

Tu cállate
No entiendes nuestra movida
Cállate

Tu cállate
No entiendes nuestra movida




Cállate
Tu
