The lyrics and melody were written in 2014 in North Wales while I was learning Spanish with my friend Ana Belen (early version, in Cochabamba, Bolivia, 2015). The riff was composed earlier that year in France on a family holiday. It was refined in 2016, and recorded a few months later in DSI studios, North London. It was released in 2018 as part of Worldwide Welshman's first/demo album, "The World is like a Crazy Goat". It's both a defiant anthem about partying on despite everything, and a lament about the hedonism at the end of civilization.
A live version of the song was recorded in De Centrale, Ghent, at the turn of the decade. This was released in 2020 with the New Year Orchestra live album.

Palabras / lyrics
El mundo está como una cabra
el mundo está muy loco
el mundo tiene mucha tristeza
aún así,
todos vivimos la fiesta
muchos de nosotros no entendemos qual es la verdad
¿y estamos siendo manipulados?
¿donde esta nuestro amor por la humanidad?
El mundo está como una cabra...
cuando comprenderemos la realidad
no podemos continuar así
donde está nuestro amor por la madre tierra?
El mundo está como una cabra
el mundo está muy loco
el mundo tiene mucha tristeza
el mundo tiene muchas problemas
our lives are sometimes so sad and tragic
so many days wasted and pointless
I often feel like I should do something
trapped in hedonism,
the end of civilization
