Los Idiotas
Calle 13
The Idiots
Some are born idiots
Others learn to be one
Some pretend to be idiots
And try to convince us
You can think what you want
Today math won't save you
Everyone has
A percentage of idiocy
In their genetics
To separate ourselves with arrogance
That we’re the center of the world
Better to unify
With the idiot that
We all have inside
Christopher Columbus discovered America
By pure coincidence
That's why, to be an idiot
It takes some intelligence
Idiocy has
Its points in favor
It's the only disease
Where the sick don't suffer
Except for everyone around them
Asking good questions
Helps keep it from spreading
Idiocy is collective
When no one questions things
This disease doesn't let you lie
Because it shows
That's why, when you're in love
You smile like an idiot
Idiots feel secure
With everything they say
Because
They talk about what they know
And what they don't know
They just make it up
Even if it sounds weird
I listen to idiots
To have a smart one who
Says nothing
I prefer an idiot who talks a lot
And from everything they say
I might hear a good idea
One that the wise kept
Out of fear of being judged
An idiot is one
Who doesn't learn
From the past
An uninformed
Who doesn't listen
To the informed
An idiot
Below the level
An idiot is
The one who thinks that
Everyone's an idiot
Except him
Among all the jobs
That an employee does
The most idiotic job
Is the one that isn't enjoyed
When looking for a job
It's good to play dumb
Because
When you're brilliant
They prefer not to hire you
Keeping smart people
Down, without growing
Is the most important rule
Of an idiot in power
But, it would be idiotic
To take life seriously
We need idiots
For comedy to exist
And to laugh at them
And also at ourselves
Being an idiot isn't bad
If you see it with optimism
Too little understanding
And too much explanation wears you out
One is smarter
When thinking like an idiot
You simplify the answers
To this complicated world
While the wise worry
The idiot is relaxed
Though idiocy
Can also make you nervous
Nothing's more concerning
Than a dangerous idiot
Their most dangerous weapon
Is to misinform people
They're dangerous idiots
With the faces of presidents
Here, no one is perfect
We all make mistakes
We need to be idiots
To learn to be better
An idiot is one
Who doesn't learn
From the past
An uninformed
Who doesn't listen
To the informed
An idiot
Below the level
An idiot is
The one who thinks that
Everyone's an idiot
Except him
