Sale Sobrando

Los hombres barbados vinieron por barco
Y todos dijeron mi Dios ha llegado
Ahora pa'l norte se van los mojados
Pero no les dicen, welcome hermanos
Si el dolar nos llama la raza se lanza
Si el gringo lo pide al paisa le cuadra
Los narcos, la migra y el border patrol
Te agarran, y luego te dan su bendición
En Chiapas, mujeres y niños rezando
Machetes y balas, con sangre bañaron
La patria su sangre al progreso ha clamado
Pero esa es tu raza que sacrificaron
El indio, el negro, el mestizo, el güerito
Todos manifiestan al México lindo
Pero, dónde fue la justicia y la pena?
Si sangre que corre en el limbo se queda
La sangre que corre por los sacrificios
Mestizo has de ser, por tus vicios
No vayas muy lejos y mírate al espejo
Porque cuando mires no te va a gustar
Tu cara es morena y quieres ser güera
Y bien que te comes tu taco y memela
Ay yay ay yay, canta y no llores porque cantando
Se alegra México lindo, los corazones
Mexicanos al grito de guerra cantamos
Pero a la montaña ni locos nos vamos
Turistas y extraños, se acercan en vano
Pa' que se preocupan? Derechos humanos
Si aquí la justicia sale sobrando
