[English]

Another blinger with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty

Another one, with the golden tongue, poisoning your fantasy

Another bill from a killer turned a thrill into a tragedy

A door left open

A woman walking by

A drop in the water

A look in the eye

A phone on the table

A man on your side

Someone that you think that you can trust

Is just another way to die

...

Another tricky little gun giving solace to the one

...

That will never see the sunshine

Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother in the nick of time

Another dirty money heaven-sent honey turning on a dime

Well, a door left open

A woman walking by

A drop in the water

A look in the eye

A phone on the table

A man on your side

Someone that you think that you can trust

Is just another way to die

Is just another (hey!)

Is just another

You got to d-d-die!

Is just another (tell 'em, baby)

Woah!

...

Another girl with her finger on the world

Singing to ya what you wanna hear

Another gun thrown down and surrendered

Took away your fear

Hey!

Another man that stands right behind you looking in the mirror

Well, a door left open

A woman walking by

A drop in the water

A look in the eye

A phone on the table

A man on your side

Oh, someone that you think that you can trust

Is just another way to die

Is just another, is just another

Is just another way

...

Shoot 'em up, bang, bang

Hey! Hey! (Is just another)

Yeah! Yeah!

...

Is just another, is just another

Is just another, just another

It's just another way! Just another)

Bang, bang, bang, bang

...
