Empezó haciendo panfletos con consignas populares
Un letrero "patria o muerte" en la pared, y el Che Guevara
Defendía el capital de Carlos Marx con argumentos colosales
Así lo conocí años atrás, a los 18

Enemigo de la radio y la canción con estribillo
El entorno le ayudaba pa' engordar tantos rencores
No perdía la ocasión pa' hacer valer sus argumentos de caudillo
Y el futuro se asomaba con sorpresas tras la esquina

Caudillo, tatúate en la piel lo que prometas
Que el tiempo puede hacerte un mercenario
Y ser tan solo otro falso profeta

Caudillo, de la revolución a la avaricia
Hay sólo un par de pasos en la brecha
Cuidado y te resbalas por lo fácil

Se graduó de abogado un abril y en el proceso
Los ideales empezaron a sufrir reumas y achaques
Reclutado en un partido liberal, fue diputado en el congreso
Su oratoria se hizo experta en la mentira y el debate

Yo lo vi haciendo graffitis "patria o muerte" donde quiera
Yo era el flaco con guitarra, no se bien si se recuerde
Se ve raro con corbata Ferragamo y Louis Vuitton en la cartera
Que fácil se acomodan los ideales a capricho

Caudillo, hoy silvas las canciones de la radio
El Che ya no es la foto en tu castillo
Hoy eres de ti mismo el mercenario

Caudillo, se te olvidó tatuarte las promesas
¿A dónde fue el muchacho solidario
Que dividiría el pan que hubo en su mesa?

Hay manifestación frente al palacio de gobierno
El tipo en el balcón presidencial
Se le parece a aquel muchacho
