La Liebre

Some chase the hare
And others catch it without running
Some waste their money
While others do the work
Where is the town headed
If it’s full of rats?

The dollar keeps rising
No one can stop it
Because it benefits many
To devalue our peso
And the money they spend
The people will pay for it

My homeland is a beautiful country
But it’s a den of crooks
Who pass the bone around
Among friends and buddies
They keep feeding off the people
Their hunger never ends

When gas prices go up
Everything else gets more expensive
The so-called foreign debt
Is just an excuse for them
They promise they’ll pay it back
To raise our taxes

The government won’t help you
Especially if you’re down
But if your luck changes
And they see you’re thriving
They’ll come to take your earnings
The fruits of your labor

Every six years that comes
They charge us to start anew
Because the one who leaves takes
Millions he never earned
They care very little
About leaving the people in debt
