The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hay un lugar sagrado
Que no tiene pasado
Y fue relegado a compraventa
Donde cada quién va por su cuenta
No
Es un mundo cansado
Ya casi desfondado
De pergaminos y apariencia
Que nos enredan con su lengua
Pero no saben donde ir
Y te vuelvo a pensar
Como pude cambiar
Tu canción por dos tenis usados
Solo quiero escribir
Para estar junto a ti
Y escapar de este mundo inventado
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Prefieren Roma y arder
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
A la salida
Raimundo está cansado
Y no le gusta la gente
Pero quiere lanzarse para presidente
El mundo es una jaula
De extremistas rabiosos
Y el resto pa’ salvarnos nos ponemos re locos
Y te vuelvo a pensar
Como pude cambiar
Tu canción por dos tenis usados
Solo quiero escribir
Para estar junto a ti
Y escapar de este mundo inventado
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Prefieren Roma y arder
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
A la salida
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Prefieren Roma y arder
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
A la salida
Babel
Nadie se quiere entender
Prefieren Roma y arder
Nos vuelve a dejar el tren
En Barranquilla
