TESTO
While he took a glass of wine and three lines of cocaine, he said
“Ev’ry man for himself and justice for all”
Then, smoking around the truck he called on the phone and said
“Three, two, one, get ready!” and smiled at the dawn
Spikes sown on the highway, for miles like prayers
Machine guns on the back seats, the sun was a stone
Steady hands upon the wheels like crowes on your shoulders
Sunglasses and fake mustache as if were a joke
People though there was a burning wreck on the way but
The sound of shots in the air, came from the sky
Highway was a desert but they escaped through the fields, ‘cause later
A thousand cars were in lines on both sides
They confused heaven with the fire of hell but
One million a head for fifteen minutes of work
Was enough to bet their lives full of mistakes and more
One million a head but just one thrill for each soul
Hidin’ in the silence of a small town’s blind faces
Gone in a flash just like the ash in the dust
“What they did was unbelievable” wrote the newspapers ‘cause
There was no trace, the police chase ended in a cloud
But from that cloud a drop came down one year later
And drop by drop became a storm a few months ago
A phone call and a glass of wine were what betrayed them
Sunglasses and fake mustache were not enough
While he took a glass of wine and a shoot of cocaine, he said
“Ev’ry man for himself and justice for all”
Now there’s so much time to think alone in a cell block
One million a head and twenty years to grow old
