Miguel Gritar [English translation]

that he is tired of being told what he must do

that any scum is luckier than him

that is tired of seeing uncomfortable or impassive

that the next line always moves faster

that his boss has more whims than a diva

that he travels to Soho and he has the eviction on him

that he wouldn't quit but would give him

a pair of punches plus VAT

that the man has photos of his Lamborghini

drinking Martini with the girl in bikini

and that irritates him but isn't any more excited

even by the "Dolce Vita" of Fellini

would it be that I don't think the same

but that voice doesn't feel bad

and so I start to think

I don't know what is it that makes me stay

I don't know what is it that keeps me stuck here

why I always end listening to Miguel scream

that the woman cheated him in the honeymoon

that doesn't mind being cruel or what they think about him

and even if she runs for someone to help her

he'll skin her and make himself a vixen coat

that he is not an identikit of Brad Pitt (no)

that he never saw Limp Bizkit nor Aerosmith (no)

that he is like a hobbit (yes), or Roger Rabbit (yes)

that everything gives him deficit and nothing surplus

that not a lightning lights his anodyne life

that he knew cocks that turned out to be hens

that he will cut the bad streak with an axe

and that he doesn't bend his head before any bitch

would it be that I don't think the same

but that voice doesn't feel bad

and so I start to think

I don't know what is it that makes me stay

I don't know what is it that keeps me stuck here

why I always end listening to Miguel scream

I don't understand what happens

I work like a donkey and can't afford to buy a house

and nothing surprises me

and I am so calm like a bomb

life gave it to me point-blank

I was always the last dried peach in the jar 1

and I don't give a hand any more

this world is not sound

and I don't bear it not one more minute

that he feels like a coma in an ICU

like the accused more searched by the FBI

like the more stubborn debtor of the IMF

like the grossest product of the GNP

that he turned immobile with that of Chernobyl

that he could see the Pope in the popemobile

that never saw light at the end of the tunnel

and didn't find peace even looking for it in google

that he doesn't want to live anymore

that he is in the range of the parting hour

that he is in the mud and like in the tango

nor the final shot he will achieve2

I don't know what is it that makes me stay

I don't know what is it that keeps me stuck here

why I always end listening to Miguel scream

listening to Miguel scream
