He hit the ground running at the speed of light

Golpeó al suelo corriendo a la velocidad de la luz

The star was brightly shining like a neon light

La estrella brillaba como un neón

It's your favorite son, it's your favorite son

Es tu hijo favorito, es tu hijo favorito

A fixture on the talkshows to the silver screen

Un habitual en los talk shows y en la gran pantalla

From here to Colorado, he's a sex machine

Desde aquí hasta Colorado, es una máquina de sexo

It's your favorite son, it's your favorite son

Es tu hijo favorito, es tu hijo favorito

But isn't it a drag? Isn't it a drag?

¿No es un rollo? ¿No es un rollo?

Isn't it a drag? It's pretty bloody sad

¿No es un rollo? Es bastante feo y triste

But isn't it a drag?

¿No es un rollo?

A clean-cut all-American, really ain't so clean

Un all‑American impecable, pero no tan limpio

His royal auditorium is a murder scene

Su auditorio real es una escena de asesinato

It's your favorite son, it's your favorite son

Es tu hijo favorito, es tu hijo favorito

Oh, isn't it a drag? Isn't it a drag?

Oh, ¿no es un rollo? ¿No es un rollo?

Isn't it a drag? It's pretty bloody sad

¿No es un rollo? Es bastante feo y triste

But isn't it a drag?

¿No es un rollo?

Well no one says it's fair turn a teenage lush

Pues nadie dice que sea justo pasar de un adolescente a un millonario

To a millionaire

A un millonario

Now where's your fuckin' champion?

¿Dónde está tu maldito campeón?

On a bed you laid, he's not the

En una cama que tú acostaste, él no es el

All-American that you thought you paid

All‑American que pensaste que pagaste

It's your favorite son, it's your favorite son

Es tu hijo favorito, es tu hijo favorito

But isn't it a drag?

¿No es un rollo?
