Tiene un penthouse en Manhattan

Revisa la bolsa y le invierte a la Iglesia

Hace un poco de jogging en Central Park

Aprende kung fu en Chinatown

Y una Magnum 45 para él

Dicen que es el que vino y juró que iba a regresar

Que se hizo cirugía en las manos para disimular

Que es el enviado del cielo y que está en Manhattan

Y esta vez su estrategia no es igual

Habla a diario con Dios por el Internet

Promueve un cambio y se ha ganado enemigos

Con discursos que invitan a quitarnos el velo

La Iglesia lo acusa de hereje

Y en el filo de la navaja, la fe

Dicen que es el que vino y juró que iba a regresar

Que se hizo cirugía en las manos para disimular

Que es el enviado del cielo y que está en Manhattan

Y esta vez su estrategia no es igual

Se ha suicidado un magnate en la Gran Manzana

Se lee en la portada del New York Times

Y una nube de dudas le hacen sombra al sol
And a cloud of doubts casts shadows on the sun
