Para ser un tipo educado
me pusieron a estudiar.
Me mandaron a un privado
y después a un hermoso industrial

Y sin embargo, no aprendí nada
Y sin embargo, no aprendí nada
Pero a pesar de todo encontré mi lugar

Para ser un buen ciudadano
me enseñaron a desfilar
A no mirar a los costados
y a seguir el rataplan

Y sin embargo, perdía el paso
Y sin embargo, perdía el paso
Pero a pesar de todo encontré mi lugar

Para saborear la vida
me dijeron a laburar
A sentir el frío en mis manos
y a mi espalda oírla quebrar

Y sin embargo, nada valía nada
Y sin embargo, nada vale nada
Pero a pesar de todo encontré mi lugar

Figuritas, medallitas y diplomas
este sistema no me supo enamorar
pero el tiempo no pasa en vano
y la vida solo me sirvio para encontrar un lugar
y pudrirme en mi rocanrol

Translated Version

To be an educated guy
they put me to school.
They sent me to a private
and then a beautiful industrialist

And yet I didn't learn anything
And yet I didn't learn anything
But I nevertheless found my place

To be a good citizen
taught me how to parade
Don't look sideways
and follow the ratplan

And yet I was losing my way
And yet I was losing my way
But I nevertheless found my place

To savor life
I was told to laburar
To feel the cold in my hands
and behind my back hear her break

And yet nothing was worth anything
And yet nothing is worth anything
But I nevertheless found my place

Figurines, medallions and diplomas
this system didn't know how to fall in love
but time doesn't go by in vain
and life only served me to find a place
and rot in my rock 'n' roll
