The Balloon

El Globo

Everywhere you see faces filled with fearPor todos lados se ven cara de terror
You hear the cocky tales of fiction hereSe escuchan cuentos creidos de la ficcion
Reality's tough, that's the life I liveDura es la realidad que toco vivir
The balloon's in charge, watching how you giveEl globo manda y te vigila al decidir

Surviving's the goal, but it's all a disguiseSobrevivir es la meta disfrazada
You're worthless if you can't comply with their liesNo servis de nada sino para cumplir
Surviving's the goal, but it's all a disguiseSobrevivir es la meta disfrazada
Amidst all this shit, the only choice is to flyEntre tanta cagada lo que queda es huir

It’s in the papers, on the radio, TV tooSale en los diarios, radios o television
It's out on the streets, in every situation you doEsta en la calle y en cualquier situación
It numbs the pain just to keep the business aliveCalma el dolor solo pa'seguir con su empresa
It kills the dreams, the people don’t even thriveMata los sueños, la gente no le interesa

For a while now, we’ve known something’s wrongYa hace un tiempo se sabe que algo anda mal
And every year, material wealth grows strongY cada año avanza el bien material
And man suffers, carrying his despairY el hombre sufre y carga con su impotencia
It’s this balloon that chokes you, gasping for airEs este el globo que te asfixia la cabeza

It’d be nice to see people singing alongBueno seria ver a la gente cantando
To see them all happy, just singing their songVerlos a todos por las calles feliz
It’d be nice to see people singing alongBueno seria ver a la gente cantando
To see them all happy, just singing their songVerlos a todos por las calles feliz
