The hours are everlasting in the dirty corridor
Thinking in detail about my execution
Time is running out for me, and I can't stop it
Hey brother, welcome to hell..
Tied to a chair, they are going to electrocute me
I have been sentenced to death 1
I state my innocence2, and they don't want to see it
Hey brother, welcome to hell..
The time has come, Chicano3 brother
Your time has come, African-American
They condemn the lunatics or the minors
In the death chair4 or the gas chamber
How many innocents did I see perish
Hey brother, welcome to hell
I live in a country where everything can be bought
Being alive or dead depends on capital
My future has already been decided5, I can't defend myself
Hey brother, welcome to hell
The time has come, Chicano brother
Your time has come, African-American
Ongoing state crimes against humanity
Human rights exist for those that don't care
Welcome hell, this case is closed
Welcome hell, he has to be murdered
Welcome hell, this case is closed
Welcome hell, he has to be eliminated
[x2]
Welcome
Welcome death
[x2]
How many human beings will you have to kill
before realising that this is an outrage
Eye for an eye, nothing can solve it
Hey brother, welcome to hell
After several years they managed to show
that I was not guilty, and there is no going back
My body is rotten and I can't be reborn
Eh brother, welcome, welcome...
The time has come, Chicano brother
Your time has come, African-American

1. The real lyrics are 'capital punishment'2. The real lyrics say 'allege', but 'state' seems more appropriate to me3. Meaning 'Mexican-American'4. Electric chair5. In Spanish, they say that the future has already been 'written'
