LOS PRISIONEROS, "El baile de los que sobran", 1986
It's another night...just walking
It's another end of the month with no news at all
My friends were left just like you
They've run out of games this year...of the 12 games (12 years of schooling)
Join the dance being done by those superflous
Nobody's going to miss us, nobody really wanted to help us
They told us when we were kids: "Play to learn...
...men are brethren, and together they must work"
You would hear the lectures, your eyes on the teacher
There was so much sunshine over your heads
And it wasn't so true because those games finally...
...ended up for others with honors, and a future...
...and left my friends hanging around in frustration
Join the dance being done by those superflous
Nobody's going to miss us, nobody really wanted to help us
Hey, I know some stories about the future
Hey, the time when I learned them was the safest
Underneath shoes there's mud plus concrete
The future isn't any of that promised in the 12 games
They taught secrets to others, and not to you
They really gave that thing called education to others
They asked for hard work, they asked for dedication
And, what for? To end up dancing, and hanging around in frustation
Join the dance being done by those superflous
Nobody's going to miss us, nobody really wanted to help us
Hey, I know some stories about the future
Hey, the time when I learned them was the safest
Join the dance being done by those superflous
Nobody's going to miss us, nobody really wanted to help us
Join the dance...
...being done by those superflous
