I Don't Wanna Get Wise - The Who

I Don't Wanna Get Wise

The Who

Lyrics:

He was drunk, I was blind

Though we tried to be kind

I was sunk, always late

We were quick to rotate

Let's be blunt, I was a bluff

And the surreal life was tough

I was a runt, we told lies

But to our great surprise

All the shit that we did

Brought us some money, I guess

And those snotty young kids

Were a standing success

Helped us conquer and rise

And we learned in this hell

We don't wanna get wise

(I don't wanna get wise

I don't wanna get wise)

Life teaches us well

We still pull, we get smug

And we all like a drug

Over full, always sated

Puffed up, elated

Let's admit our mistakes

Are what triggered our breaks

We were shits, oh, no disguise

And it is no surprise

That the crap that we did

Brought us money, God bless

And those snotty young kids

Were a standing success

Helped us conquer and rise

And we learned in this hell

We didn't wanna get wise

(I don't wanna get wise

I don't wanna get wise)

Life teaches us well

Experiment, you universe

We'll ask why you choose to curse

Why set a fire you plan to douse?

Why set a rat to catch a mouse?

He was drunk (he was drunk), I was blind (he was blind)

Though we tried to be kind

I was sunk (he was sunk), he was late (always late)

We were quick to rotate

We tried hard to stay young

But the high notes were sung

We've been scarred, we've been prized

But you could see in our eyes

(I don't wanna get wise

I don't wanna get wise)

We got wise!

(I don't wanna get wise

I don't wanna get wise)

We got wise

(I don't wanna get wise

I don't wanna get wise)

We got wise

(I don't wanna get wise

I don't wanna get wise)

We got wise

Letra:

Él estaba borracho, yo estaba ciego

Aunque tratamos de ser amables

Estaba hundido, siempre tarde

Nos apresuramos a rotar

Seamos francos, era un farol

Y la vida surrealista fue dura

Fui un enano, dijimos mentiras

Pero para nuestra gran sorpresa

Toda la mierda que hicimos

Nos trajo algo de dinero, supongo

Y esos niños mocosos

Fueron un éxito permanente

Nos ayudó a conquistar y levantar

Y aprendimos en este infierno

No queremos ser sabios

(No quiero ser sabio

No quiero ser sabio)

La vida nos enseña bien

Todavía tiramos, nos enorgullecemos

Y a todos nos gusta una droga

Demasiado lleno, siempre saciado

Hinchado, eufórico

Admitamos nuestros errores

Son lo que desencadenaron nuestros descansos

Éramos mierdas, oh, sin disfraz

Y no es sorpresa

Que la mierda que hicimos

Nos trajo dinero, que Dios los bendiga

Y esos niños mocosos

Fueron un éxito permanente

Nos ayudó a conquistar y levantar

Y aprendimos en este infierno

No queríamos ser sabios

(No quiero ser sabio

No quiero ser sabio)

La vida nos enseña bien

Experimenta, tu universo

Le preguntaremos por qué elige maldecir

¿Por qué prender fuego pretendes apagar?

¿Por qué configurar una rata para atrapar un ratón?

Estaba borracho (estaba borracho), yo estaba ciego (estaba ciego)

Aunque tratamos de ser amables

Estaba hundido (estaba hundido), llegaba tarde (siempre tarde)

Nos apresuramos a rotar

Nos esforzamos por mantenernos jóvenes

Pero las notas altas fueron cantadas

Hemos sido marcados, hemos sido apreciados

Pero podías ver en nuestros ojos

(No quiero ser sabio

No quiero ser sabio)

¡Nos hicimos sabios!

(No quiero ser sabio

No quiero ser sabio)

Nos hicimos sabios

(No quiero ser sabio

No quiero ser sabio)

Nos hicimos sabios

(No quiero ser sabio

No quiero ser sabio)

Nos hicimos sabios
