Y se esconde a la luz del sol

Las balas que la gente tiene

Lo ascesinaron de pie

Esta es la historia de un hombre
This is the story of a man
Que supo muy pocas letras

Y soñó con la justicia

De los héroes de historieta

Y se disfrazó de bueno

Con un disfraz de villano

Y los héroes de la historia

Pobre Juan, pobre Juan

El odio te hace muy mal

Y esperas a tu muerte

En manos de la misma sociedad

Y ahora juega a los ladrones

Junto con Batman y Robin

En un asilo de ancianos

Con payasos y gusanos

Seremos tus amigos
