lyrics

No es una cosa de respeto.
No es una cosa de amor.
Es más bien algo del egoismo
Si soy solo otro organismo.

(It's not about respect.
It's not about love.
It's rather a matter of selfishness,
If I'm just another organism.)

1845
Thoreau went to Walden Pond.
1831
Young Darwin sailed the sea.
In a sense, both naturalists
Were searching for the place of Man.
One would say his fate is life,
The other only death.

Yo tengo control
(I have control)
But I'm still an animal.
Yo tengo control
But I'm still an animal.
Yo tengo control
But I'm still an animal!
Y qué paradoja.
(And what a paradox.)
