Lyrics

English: A bit country, a bit city / The neon lights glow and we're beneath them / Open exhausts, leather jackets / Scarred mugs, really strange people / Desperate times, desperate measures / Words turn to war, landmines / Learn from losses, celebrate wins / Weep at funerals, drink to christenings / A bit Rambo, a bit Rocky / Running up those stairs took me years / We rolled through villages, towns and blocks / Gorgeous clubs, filthy gutters / Verses are the breeding ground of these fucked-up times / Music and life, for others that's a hobby / The scene is snakes, politics is lobbying / So rack up those points. I storm the door in a balaclava and load the shotgun / Nobody believes it, I fire slugs like a home run / Outside it's broad daylight, people I don't know / With Glocks under their arms, now it's gonna be Vietnam / Now it's gonna be Vietnam / Now it's gonna be Vietnam / Now it's gonna be Vietnam / I storm the door and load the shotgun / A bit of a mistake, a bit sorry / Same answer, even if it's a different story __________ Czech: Tak trochu country, tak trochu city / Neony svítěj a my pod nimi / Votevřený vejfuky, kožený bundy / Zjizvený ksichty, fakt podivný lidi / Zoufalá doba, zoufalý činy / Ze slov je válka, nášlapný miny / Poučit z proher, voslavit výhry / Vobrečet pohřby, zapíjet křtiny / Tak trochu Rambo, tak trochu Rocky / Vyběhnout ty schody mi trvalo roky / Projeli vesnice, města a bloky / Nádherný kluby, špinavý stoky / Sloky sou líhní zkurvený doby /…
