Ella es menor, él es normal
She is younger, he is average
Y lo que están haciendo es un suicidio mortal
And what they're doing is a deadly suicide
Porque alguien lo dijo esta vez pero yo no creo en eso
Because someone said it this time but I don't believe in that
Lo están golpeando todo el tiempo
They're hitting him all the time
Lo vuelven vuelven a golpear
They keep hitting him again and again
Nos siguen pegando abajo
They keep hitting us down
Yo estaba en un club
I was in a club
No había casi luz
There was barely any light
La puerta de salida tenía un farolito azul
The exit door had a little blue lantern
El se desmayó delante de mí
He fainted in front of me
No fueron las anfetas fueron los hombres de
It wasn't the amphetamines, it was the men who
Lo están golpeando todo el tiempo
They’re hitting him all the time
Lo vuelven vuelven a golpear
They keep hitting him again and again
Nos siguen pegando abajo
They keep beating us down
Estoy yéndome
I'm walking away
Soy como una luz apagándose
I'm like a light fading away
Lo están golpeando todo el tiempo
They’re hitting him all the time
Lo vuelven vuelven a golpear
They keep hitting him again and again
Nos siguen pegando abajo
They keep beating us down
