Lyrics & Translation
The explosion of gunpowder forcefully pushes
Rotation and translation movement
The bullet leaves the cannon shot out
With a direct target
The bullet travels safely and firmly along its path
Wounding the wind to death
Faster than time itself
Defending any argument
It doesn't care if its fate is violent
It moves calmly; the bullet has no feelings
Like a secret you don't want to hear
The bullet tells it all without speaking
Without raising suspicion, it ensures its killing spree
That's why it’s filled with lead in its stomach
To reach its prey, it doesn't need eyes
Especially when the path is guided by infrared
The bullet never gives up
If it doesn’t kill today, at least it leaves a wound
After it leaves
There’s no stopping it; it obeys its master once in a lifetime
There's little money but many bullets
There's little food but many bullets
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
There’s little money but many bullets
There’s little food but many bullets
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
A shot is heard
Gain confidence
The sound chases her but can't catch her
The bullet shows its steel fangs
And without asking permission, it pierces the leather
Bites the tissues with rage
Ripping out the chest from the arteries to cause hemorrhage
Blood flows like a strawberry shake, Bolognese sauce, raspberry syrup
A cascade of contemporary art, bright red flows out of the skull
There’s little money but many bullets
There’s little food but many bullets
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
There’s little money but many bullets
There’s little food but many bullets
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
It would be impossible for someone to kill you
If each bullet cost what a yacht costs
You'd have to save all your salary
To be a mercenary, you'd need to be a millionaire
But that’s not how it is
People get killed in droves
Bullets are as cheap as condoms
There’s little education, many cartridges
When you read little, you shoot a lot
Some kill and don’t face the consequences
The rich give the order, the poor shoot
You don’t need bullets to make a point
It’s logical; you can't talk to a dead person
Dialogue destroys any macabre situation
Before using bullets, I shoot with words
There’s little money but many bullets
There’s little food but many bullets
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
There’s little money but many bullets
There’s little food but many bullets
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
There’s little money
There’s little food
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
There’s little money
There’s little food
There are few good people, so there are many bullets
Watch out, here comes one, pop, pop, pop, pop
