Joe by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Lyrics & Translation
English
My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
Yeah I'm the man makes the big wheels roll
I'm the hand on the green-light switch
You get to be famous, I get to be rich
Go get me a kid with a good-looking face
Bring me a kid can remember his place
Some hungry poet son-of-a-bitch
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
Or bring me a girl
They're always the best
You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey! Now that's what I call music!
Well, they'll come looking for money when the public gets bored
But we'll fight 'em with lawyers they could never afford
Yeah, I'll make her look like a spoiled little bitch
She gets to be famous, I get to be rich
Or bring me a girl
They're always the best
You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey! Now that's what I call music!
So burned-out Johnny thinks the books are shifty
What good is that alky to me when he's fifty?
Well we could move catalog, if he'd only die quicker
Send my regards to the gig and a case of good liquor
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
I'm the man that makes the big wheels roll

Joe (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Mi nombre es Joe, soy el CEO
Sí, soy el hombre que hace girar las grandes ruedas
Soy la mano en el interruptor de luz verde
Tú te haces famoso, yo me hago rico
Ve a buscarme un chico con una cara bonita
Tráeme un chico que sepa cuál es su lugar
Algún poeta hambriento hijo de puta
Él se hace famoso, yo me hago rico
O tráeme una chica
Siempre son las mejores
Las pones en el escenario y las haces desvestirse
Alguna puta ángel que pueda aprender un riff de guitarra
¡Oye! ¡A eso le llamo música!
Bueno, vendrán buscando dinero cuando el público se aburra
Pero los combatiremos con abogados que nunca podrían pagar
Sí, la haré parecer una perra mimada
Ella se hace famosa, yo me hago rico
O tráeme una chica
Siempre son las mejores
Las pones en el escenario y las haces desvestirse
Alguna puta ángel que pueda aprender un riff de guitarra
¡Oye! ¡A eso le llamo música!
Así que el quemado Johnny cree que los libros son turbios
¿De qué me sirve ese alcohólico cuando tenga cincuenta?
Bueno, podríamos mover el catálogo, si tan solo muriera más rápido
Envía mis saludos al concierto y una caja de buen licor
Él se hace famoso, yo me hago rico
Él se hace famoso, yo me hago rico
Mi nombre es Joe, soy el CEO
Soy el hombre que hace girar las grandes ruedas
