Punish The Monkey

Castiga al mono

Punish The Monkey

Están clavando largos clavos en ataúdesThey're driving long nails into coffins
Has estado teniendo noches de insomnioYou've been having sleepless nights
Te has callado como un ratón de iglesiaYou've gone quiet as a church mouse
Y verificando tus derechosAnd checking on your rights
El jefe te ha dejado en la estacadaThe boss has hung you out to dry
Y parece queAnd it looks as though
Van a castigar al monoThey'll punish the monkey
Y dejar ir al organillero.And let the organ grinder go.

Has estado hablando con un abogadoYou've been talking to a lawyer
¿Vas a pretenderAre you going to pretend
Que tú y tu empleadorThat you and your employer
Siguen siendo los mejores amigos?Are still the best of friends?
Alguien va a llevarse la culpaSomebody's going to take the fall
Ahí está tu quid pro quo.There's your quid pro quo.
Van a castigar al mono,They'll punish the monkey,
Van a castigar al mono,They'll punish the monkey,
Van a castigar al mono,They'll punish the monkey,
Y dejar ir al organillero.And let the organ grinder go.

Aquí viene un policía,Here comes a policeman,
No se dejará desviar.He won't be sidetracked.
Está preguntando por un arma humeante,He's asking about a smoking gun,
Va tras los hechos.He's after the facts.

Es una vida tranquila de aquí en adelante,It's a quiet life from here on in,
Has dejado tu copa envenenada.You've dropped your poison cup.
El teléfono está sonandoThe telephone is ringing
Pero no contestas.But you're not picking up.
Se acabó, Señor Lacayo,Time's up, Sir Lord Flunkey,
Y todo el mundo sabeAnd everybody knows
Van a castigar al mono,They'll punish the monkey,
Van a castigar al mono,They'll punish the monkey,
Van a castigar al mono,They'll punish the monkey,
Y dejar ir al organillero.And let the organ grinder go.

Van a castigar al mono,They'll punish the monkey,
Castigar al mono,Punish the monkey,
Castigar al mono,Punish the monkey,
Y dejar ir al organillero. (2X)And let the organ grinder go.(2X)
