So damn sick

Ronny Kogan 1980 (Sao Paulo)



Watch your step
Or you will be dead
Dead by the head
Do you dare?

Afraid to walk on the street
In a beautiful day
Family and friends to meet
A bullet standing in my way

So damn sick that I cannot believe
Step by step the sound of war
We just survive and do not leave
Distance between life and death is not far

Watch your step
Or you will be dead
Dead by the head
Do you dare?

What is going on?
People chanting to honor the horror
I don’t know why, when, where but is on
People justifying the deepest terror

So damn sick that I cannot stand
Delivering your sons to this world
So sick of hate and blooded hand
Just listen, You don’t have to say a word

Watch your step
Or you will be dead
Dead by the head
Out of care
