Lyrics of Amateur (Rock Me Amadeus) by Molotov
intro
Está escuchando
Señores y señoritas
Por favor
Bienvenido a
Radio Molotov
Rock me, Amadeus
Su-su-su-superstar
Su-superstar
hook
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, Amateur
Rock me, Amateur
verse
Vivimos del aplauso, también de los monedazos
Que luego recogemos del piso del escenario
Nos ponemos pa las fotos y después nos gritan "jotos"
Se roban nuestras playeras, las firmamos donde quieras
El transporte que mandaron tiene dos llantas ponchadas
La corriente del lugar no estaba aterrizada
La aerolínea en que viajamos era de la fuerza armada
Y el hotel donde quedamos era de Carlos Ahumada
Más de mil toquínes, no hay llanta pa mis rines
Muchachas chamaqueadas con los mismos calcetines
Caciqueado, engañado, pedo, crudo y desvelado
De lo que escribió la prensa creo que nunca hemos hablado
chorus
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur
Oh-oh-oh, amateur
verse
Now we don′t pay the soundtrack, distribution for watchin' tours
We toured in buses with no heat in very low temperatures
We′ve gotten no checks since '98, we took payments
Til we owe the cheese between our toes, thanks for the expenditure
Hey, don't play with big kids, Spandex rock scavengers
Sold my furniture to keep my economic stature
And to convince the chief that we had matured now
Guess who was producing the who′s who of all amateurs?
hook
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
chorus
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur
Oh-oh-oh, amateur
verse
Nos ofrecen el toquín, nos llevan al baile
Cobramos por sudar unos fajotes de aire
Nos ponen escenarios limpiados de balnearios
Rodeados de empresarios que se quedan con los cambios
Aquí con ustedes, sus pendejos favoritos
No manden los boletos, podemos llegar solitos
Nos encanta que nos digan cómo hacer nuestras canciones
Viniendo de pasmeros a aceptar reclamaciones
chorus
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
hook
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
chorus
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Amateur, amateur
Oh-oh-oh, amateur (rock me, Amadeus)
