Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

When I was young I was taught to throw sticks and stonesCuando era joven me enseñaron a lanzar palos y piedras

Because sticks and stones they could break your bonesPorque los palos y piedras podían romper tus huesos

The only way to get ahead that made any kind of senseLa única forma de salir adelante que tenía sentido

Was to enrich myself at other people's expenseEra enriquecerme a expensas de los demás

I could walk over corpses to make myself a namePodía pisotear cadáveres para hacerme un nombre

I would cheat and I could lie without showing no shameEngañaría y mentiría sin mostrar vergüenza

People tried to stop me but they didn't understandLa gente intentaba detenerme pero no entendían

I wasn't looking for affection or a helping handNo buscaba afecto ni una mano amiga

Why doesn't anybody listen¿Por qué nadie escucha?

Why doesn't anybody hear¿Por qué nadie oye?

Why doesn't anybody see me¿Por qué nadie me ve?

Why doesn't you interfere¿Por qué no intervienes?

Don't ask me whyNo me preguntes por qué

I never told the truth cos I believe all my liesNunca dije la verdad porque creía en mis mentiras

I believed that if I made my own alibisCreía que si creaba mis propias coartadas

I would find a good reason and a better excuseEncontraría una buena razón y una mejor excusa

So I could justify my hate and my self abusePara justificar mi odio y mi autoabuso

I would satisfy myself in any way I couldMe satisfacía de cualquier manera posible

Because I knew that I would always be misunderstoodPorque sabía que siempre sería incomprendido

I did a lot of mean things that are hard to forgiveHice muchas cosas malas que son difíciles de perdonar

But all I ever wanted was a life to livePero todo lo que quería era vivir

Why doesn't anybody listen¿Por qué nadie escucha?

Why doesn't anybody hear¿Por qué nadie oye?

Why doesn't anybody see me¿Por qué nadie me ve?

Why doesn't you interfere¿Por qué no intervienes?

Don't ask me whyNo me preguntes por qué

Looking back at my life there's a lot I regretMirando hacia atrás en mi vida hay mucho que lamento

I made a lot of mistakes that I can never forgetCometí muchos errores que nunca podré olvidar

But I didn't know better I was insecurePero no sabía mejor, era inseguro

I guess I never took care of my problems beforeSupongo que nunca me ocupé de mis problemas antes

I feel bad about the people that I pushed aroundMe siento mal por la gente a la que empujé

I feel bad about the people that I let downMe siento mal por la gente a la que decepcioné

I put the blame on myself I can't look the other wayPongo la culpa en mí mismo, no puedo mirar hacia otro lado

Living with my guilt is the price I have to payVivir con mi culpa es el precio que debo pagar

Why doesn't anybody listen¿Por qué nadie escucha?

Why doesn't anybody hear¿Por qué nadie oye?

Why doesn't anybody see me¿Por qué nadie me ve?

Why doesn't you interfere¿Por qué no intervienes?

Don't ask me whyNo me preguntes por qué
