Marginal and repressedMarginal y reprimido
Leftist and vengefulIzquierdoso y vengativo
And today I look like a mannequinY hoy parezco un maniquí

Long live Che on the shirtViva el Che en la camiseta
And a soldier with a bayonetY un milico en bayoneta
Chasing me to deathPersiguiéndome a morir

I saw myselfYo me vi
Using public transportationDe transporte colectivo
With an alternative flagDe bandera alternativo
And the future, a scalpelY el futuro, un bisturí

I saw myselfYo me vi
As a socialist memberDe agremiado socialista
One of those who are anarchists todayDe esos que hoy son anarquistas
And go to Vail to skiY van a Vail a hacer esquí

I saw myselfYo me vi

And this shit, I testifyY esta mierda, testifico
It's not entirely for me (hey)No es del todo para mí (ey)

I saw myselfYo me vi
In a Ferrari in Monte CarloDe Ferrari en Monte Carlo
A complete Yuppie, to envyTodo un Yupi, pa' envidiarlo
And a love to chooseY un amor para elegir

I who was hopelessYo que estaba desahuciado
What the hell am I doing here?¿Qué carajos hago aquí?

To the jet set of artistsAl jet set de los artistas
And in between, I got lostY en el medio, me perdí

Today, knowing that both sidesHoy, que sé que los dos lados
Took advantage of meSe aprovecharon de mí
