honor y escrúpulos son un invento

Todos estamos untados,
we are all bribed
todos quedamos involucrados,

queremos harto billete de contado.

Aquí no quedan inocentes,
here there are no innocent ones
todos aquí somos delincuentes.

Los hay de muchos pelambres y colores,
they are of many hair and colors
de cuello blanco, esos son los peores.
the white necks, those are the worst
Aquí política es sinónimo de robo,
here politics are a synonim with robery
millonarios sueldos y papayas de oro,
millionaire salaries and papaya trees of gold
animal social como los leones,
social animal like the lions

is the rich prey

Todos estamos untados,

we are all involved
todos andamos armados,
we are all armed
queremos harto billete de contado.
we want a lot of counted money
