While You Were Looking At Me(original) |
While you were looking at me |
The world passed you by |
You held your prejudice sacred |
And left your dreams behind |
While you were looking at me |
The homeless stayed in the streets |
You learned to drink poisoned water |
But never learned how to read |
Well it’s easy to put the blame on someone else |
But it’s hard to see yourself |
Did you ever take a good look at yourself? |
While you were looking at me |
Airport security died |
And the smugglers and the terrorists |
Just walked right by |
'Cause they don’t dress like me |
They dress like you |
They wear suits and ties |
Like all you hypocrites do |
Well it’s easy to point your finger at someone else |
But it’s hard to see yourself |
Ain’t it hard to take a good look at yourself? |
While you were looking at me |
Businessmen bled you dry |
You lost control of your government |
It’s getting scary outside! |
While you were looking at me |
Your children took the fall |
Trying to be Mommy and Daddy |
With dope and alcohol |
You censor people like me |
But it won’t do you no good |
The truth’s gonna get through |
No matter what you do |
While you were looking at me… |
(traducción) |
Mientras me mirabas |
El mundo te pasó de largo |
Mantuviste tu prejuicio sagrado |
Y dejó sus sueños atrás |
Mientras me mirabas |
Los sin techo se quedaron en las calles |
Aprendiste a beber agua envenenada |
Pero nunca aprendí a leer |
Bueno, es fácil culpar a alguien más |
Pero es difícil verse a uno mismo |
¿Alguna vez te has mirado bien a ti mismo? |
Mientras me mirabas |
La seguridad del aeropuerto murió |
Y los contrabandistas y los terroristas |
Acabo de pasar |
Porque no se visten como yo |
se visten como tu |
Llevan traje y corbata. |
Como hacen todos los hipócritas |
Bueno, es fácil señalar con el dedo a otra persona |
Pero es difícil verse a uno mismo |
¿No es difícil mirarse bien a uno mismo? |
Mientras me mirabas |
Los hombres de negocios te desangraron |
Perdiste el control de tu gobierno |
¡Se está poniendo aterrador afuera! |
Mientras me mirabas |
Tus hijos tomaron la caída |
Tratando de ser mamá y papá |
Con droga y alcohol |
censuras a gente como yo |
Pero no te hará ningún bien |
La verdad va a pasar |
No importa lo que hagas |
Mientras me mirabas... |
