Tres ojos, cuatro orejas
Mucho pelo entre medio de las cejas
Con los cachetes, llenos de granos
Sin brazos ni piernas como los gusanos
Imperfecciones en todos los lugares 
Cicatrices, jorobas, lunares 
Juanetes, en los dos pies 
Con ocho dedos, en vez de diez

Blanco, que se te ve la venas del cerebro 
Como café, sin leche, bien negro 
Mal distribuido como las vacas 
Mucha barriga pero con las patas flacas
Cabeza grande, cuerpo chiquito 
Celuliticos, los muslos blanditos 
Mucho labio, bembón o bembona 
Una nariz que parece otra persona

Aquí todos somos deformes 
Y nos resistimos a usar uniforme 
Lo más feo de la flor es el tallo 
La belleza se alimenta de fallos
Cómo nos vemos curiosos
Ponemos a los lindos nerviosos 
Que toda la gente nos señale
Lo que no es igual, sobresale

Soy Anormal

Somos anormales
Lo que me gusta de ti
Es que tu eres anormal

Nuestra sexualidad se despierta
El ADN con las piernas abiertas 
Los cromosomas bailando bolero
Las hormonas con hambre
Lamiéndose los cueros 
Y procreamos una cosa bien rara
Como nosotros pero con otra cara 
Nuestra genética, un laberinto 
Somos igual de distintos

Lo que se mezcla es más interesante
Como una mosca con orejas de elefante 
Los colores se triplican, nadie pierde 
Amarillo con azul hacen verde

Original, no lo pueden copiar 
Lo que es impuro no se puede duplicar 
La raza se arregla, cuando se daña
Somos de la tribu que con sucio se baña! 

Soy Anormal

Somos anormales
Lo que me gusta de ti 
Es que tu eres anormal

Soy Anormal
