Lyrics and MP3s | La letra y MP3s ............................................... return | regresa, MENU

1. Si se mueve   mp3

If you stay, I won’t go. But if you leave, I don’t know. Todo el planeta vive. Have you heard the sound we make when a million cells awake? Todo el planeta vive. The sun and the moon and the birds and the trees—if everything’s moving, tell me why shouldn’t we? Move your body. Muevete. If you stay, if you go, it doesn’t matter, either way. Por que todo que se mueve no se muere, si se mueve.

2. Details   mp3

So you say that you want a revolution, you want to change the world. And you’ve got yourself a secret weapon quoting Chomsky and Reagan. Because “The world is good,” because “The world is bad,” Because “Our time has finally come!” OK, sounds good, that’s right, I’m down. Only one little item to go. Details, I want details, I want details from you all.

3. Por que   mp3

Porque no puedo, tengo que estudiar. ¿Por qué no sales conmigo a bailar? Porque no puedo tengo que estudiar. ¿Por qué no sales un rato a jugar? Porque no puedo esperar. No puedo, no puedo. Porque no puedo esperar. Porque yo quiero ser más.

4. Andas   mp3

Viajas por el mar, comiendo sal y res. Descansas sin hogar, resando sin la fé. Y nunca volveras a lo que antes fue. Y nunca volveras, a ver esa mujer. You set your flag on fire, and dull your tongue with oil. You shelter your desire, and curse against the shore. And try and try and try, you’ll never forget home. And cry and cry and cry, your sweetest tears are hers. Andas sin hogar. Andas por el mar.

  
5. B.U.S.I.N.E.S.S.   mp3

So let’s say I start calling myself “Smith” and just for kicks we’ll start calling you “Martinez.” What will that do to the exchange rate between us? Will it replace all this ridiculousness with business? Mira que tan rapido se enojan, cuando no les hablan en inglés. But Mister, it’s just another la[ng]-gwij, another way of saying “I love you.” B-U-S-I-N-E-DOUBLE S, is that all, there really is? B-U-S-I-N-E-DOUBLE S, is that all, more or less? Todo el mundo tiene una confusión, todos los que tienen mandan los que no.

6. Get Out   mp3

We are the new world. You are so old. We are your best hope. Get out. Let go.

7. The Dogs   mp3

Yo quiero un Díos, que no es. Yo quiero un Díos que siempre ha existido. Un Díos con muchas caras. Un Díos que no es. How can you begin to describe the face of God? How can you begin to speak on his behalf? What’s in your heart, then? Believe what you will, what you will, what you will. You raise your right arm, he raises his left. You wink with your right eye, he stares. You’re a dog, in the mirror, staring at God. A dog, a dog. Just looking for himself inside a God. All around the world.

8. A Day in L.A.   mp3

Wipe your tears away. No one is here to stay. Just wipe your tears away. It’s just another day, in L.A.

9. The New World   mp3

We’re gonna make it, we’re gonna make it, we’re going to make it up until it starts to make sense for everyone who wants to be free. I know you do, too. Everyone wants to be free. I know you do, too.

Here we are again. Another winter’s coming and we’re standing in the rain, waiting for a name. Get out all the pens you’ve got, get out all your change, get out all your photographs, and let’s rewrite your name. Let’s pretend there are no rules, let’s pretend we’re dead. Let’s run out the clock tonight ‘cause it’s someone else’s game.

I don’t see why we have to play someone else’s game. It’s all a lie, it’s all pretend. It’s someone else’s game.

We wrote this little part to remind you: the future is a place, don’t let it go to waste. We wrote this little part just to say: the new world is a tense, it never goes away.
