Inimigos do Rei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O crime produz polícia
Produz médico legista
O crime produz jurista
O crime produz...
O crime vive com a gente
O crime paga jurados
O crime produz culpados
O crime alimenta carrascos
Produz algemas, pruduz medalhas
Destrói a noção do sentido
Mas também produz Bonnie and Clyde
Produz romance, produz suspense
Produz avanços, non sense!
O crime não anda pra trás
O crime produz marajás
O crime inventa a moral
O crime inventa impressão digital
O crime nunca tem pena
O crime não é anormal
O crime produz crime
Em escala industrial
The lyrics of "Crime" by Inimigos do Rei describe how crime begets more crime, and the vicious cycle it creates. The first verse argues that criminals produce not only crime itself, but also the police and medical examiners who deal with its consequences. In addition, the justice system thrives on crime, leading to the production of lawyers and judges. The second verse describes how crime is intertwined with our daily lives. The criminals bribe juror and produce both innocent and guilty people. Crime also feeds executioners and produces handcuffs and medals for law enforcement. It undermines our sense of meaning, but also produces works of fiction such as Bonnie and Clyde, as well as technological advancements.
The third verse further emphasizes this cycle and how it fuels societal corruption. Crime fuels the rise of wealthy individuals and creates its own moral code. Additionally, technological advancements such as fingerprinting result from criminal activity. The final line, "crime produces crime on an industrial scale," emphasizes how the problem is not isolated but rather a pervasive issue at a societal level.
Overall, the song highlights the destructive nature of crime and its ability to perpetuate itself. It implies that crime is not an isolated issue but rather one that is deeply rooted in society.
