Let's go downtown and watch the modern kids
Let's go downtown and talk to the modern kids
They will eat right out of your hand
Using great big words that they don't understand

They say
Rococo, rococo, rococo, ...

They build it up just to burn it back down
They build it up just to burn it back down
The wind is blowing all the ashes around
Oh my dear God what is that horrible song they're singing

Rococo, rococo, rococo, ...

They seem wild but they are so tame
They seem wild but they are so tame
They're moving towards you with their colours all the same
They want to own you but they don't know what game they're playing

Rococo, rococo, rococo, ...

Vamos al centro y veamos a los críos modernos
Vamos al centro y hablemos con los críos modernos
Comerán directamente de tu palma
Usando palabras sofisticadas que no entiendan

Ellos dicen
Rococo, rococo, rococo, ...

Lo construyeron sólo para quemarlo
Lo construyeron sólo para quemarlo
El viento está esparciendo las cenizas
Oh mi querido Dios que es esa horrible canción que cantan

Rococo, rococo, rococo, ...

Parecen tan salvajes pero son tan mansos
Parecen tan salvajes pero son tan mansos
Avanzan hacia tí con sus colores todos iguales
Quieren mandar pero no saben a que juego juegan

Rococo, rococo, rococo, ...
