Un Abuso

They taught us to see the world through a windowNos enseñaron a ver el mundo por la ventana
To stay still, live seated, lose our driveQuedarnos quietos, vivir sentados, perder las ganas
Disconnecting until we forget ourselvesDesconectarnos hasta olvidar de nosotros mismos
Cowering, we create nothing, we destroy ourselvesAcobardados nada creamos, nos destruimos
And they don't even respect, not even, our gazeY no respetan ya, ni siquiera, nuestra mirada
They want to leave us with nothing leftQuieren llegar a que de nosotros no quede nada

And now they travel through our veins with their liesY ahora viajan por nuestras venas con sus mentiras
They poison us with food and medicineNos envenenan con la comida y la medicina
Prescribing sex with their moral recipesRecetan sexo con sus recetas de moralina
Because they fear we'll awaken so much energyPorque ellos temen que despertemos tanta energía
And they inject that poison into us every dayY nos inyectan ese veneno todos los días

To sell us that being asleep is a better lifePara vendernos que, estar dormidos, es mejor vida
And that's an abuse of science, of artY eso es un abuso a la ciencia, al arte

And that's an abuse of all those who gave their livesY eso es un abuso a todos los que dieron su vida
So that we could be better todayPara que hoy estemos mejor
That's an abuse of those who rise every dayEso es un abuso a los que se levantan todos los días
To face this horrorPara afrontar este horror
That's an abuse of all of us who still believe in loveEso es un abuso a todos los que todavía creemos en el amor
