about

this song is dedicated to Stephanie and André

lyrics

The news has spread, we are aware:
A fallen cop this morning
down there on Sainty’s Square.
Vendetta won’t wait long,
Who’s gonna end this nightmare?
Seems the asphalt doesn’t care.

They chose their victim randomly.
Another innocent of
their crazy private war to be
Another number in the statistics
They cheat, they lie and they betray
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

All that I want for you and me
Is happiness
And walk down my hometown in tranquility
All that I want for you and me
Is happiness
The misery, the tyranny, we die
And I can see no justice.

The power-abusers
Can rely on their
Effective immunity


They broke the door destroyed the frame.
Then teared our closet open and rifled through it what a shame.
Stepped on our pride and our few belongings,
Because they can they play their game,
And we have no hope for reclaims.

My girl she cries, our home a mess.
Who knows when they’ll be back again to prove their arbitrariness?
Our year-long savings gone within seconds,
I want to leave this place for sure.
Don’t love my country anymore!

All that I want for you and me
Is happiness
And walk down my hometown in tranquility
All that I want for you and me
Is happiness
The misery, the tyranny, I cry
For I can see no justice.

The power-abusers
Can rely on their
Effective immunity


The news has spread we are aware
Two fallen watchmen have been laid out up leisure square.
Vendetta won’t wait long
Who’s gonna end this nightmare?
Seems the asphalt doesn’t care.

All that I want for you and me
Is happiness
And walk down my hometown in tranquility
All that I want for you and me
Is happiness
The misery, the tyranny, I sigh
For we have only this life.
