Cum Laude

Cum Laude

Cum Laude

Next time you have to get a tenLa próxima vez tienes que sacar un diez
For you and for me, for your fatherPor ti y por mí, por tu padre
All day working so you can eatTodo el día trabajando para que puedas comer
Look at yourself, kid, this way you won't stand outMírate chaval, así no despuntarás
And you'll be a nobodyY vas a ser un don nadie
The important thing in life won't be to participateLo importante de la vida no será participar

Curriculum vitae, that's for losersCurrículum vitae, eso es para fracasados
A cum laude won't need itNo le va hacer falta a un cum laude
Success is perseverance, sacrifices, and laughing at some jokeEl éxito es perseverancia, sacrificios y reír alguna gracia
And don't forget that silver is what the losers earnY no olvides que la plata es el que gana de los perdedores
There are multiple flavors in defeat, finish your soupHay múltiples sabores en la derrota y acábate la sopa
Don't leave a drop or you'll disappoint meNo te dejes ni una gota o me decepcionarás

Siren songsCantos de sirena
So many good people, so many sons of evil, and me so neutralTanta gente buena, tanto hijo del mal, y yo tan neutral
It's better to be a shadow, and let no one overshadow me and never stand outMás vale ser sombra, y que nadie me haga sombra y nunca destacar
I disagree with all your advice, I'll make your mentality illegalTodos tus consejos los desaconsejo tu mentalidad la voy a ilegalizar
Truth expires, honesty is a lie, and my privacy is popularLa verdad expira, la honestidad es mentira y popular mi intimidad

Look at your feet, you're so close to the groundMírate los pies, estás tan cerca del suelo
And that photo so high above your colleagueY esa foto tan arriba de tu compañero
Who's on the employee of the month posterQue está encima del cartel del empleado del mes
And you still can't sell half of what he doesY tú sigues sin vender la mitad de lo que él

Welcome to the country where we all have a replacementBienvenido al país donde todos tenemos reemplazo
Except the number one, sharpen your elbows, prepared tripsMenos el número uno, afilad vuestros codazos, zancadillas preparadas
Well-disguised trapsTrampas bien disimuladas
Unsheath swords and hide the double chin wellDesenvainad espadas y esconded bien la papada

There goes your dismissal letterAhí va tu carta de despido
Being normal is your punishmentSer normal es tu castigo
Being free condemns youSer libre te condena
There goes your Caribbean dreamAhí va tu sueño caribeño
That when you were littleQue cuando eras pequeño
Was designed for youSe te diseñó
