Gloria
P.J. Orion and The Magnates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Solo pe' resta' in memoria
Vedella scivola' sulla stagnola
Solo pe' resta' sulle labbra de 'ste quattro prostitute
Vedelle con le bocche piene mute
Cosa mi lega a questo mondo? Rapporti frivoli
Convenienza, svuotarmi i testicoli
E in fretta fuori da 'sta merda
Siete puttane
Nel fottuto gioco solo per un nome, quale?
Solo per sbocchinare
Voglio farmi male un'altra volta per vedere che c'è dopo
Questo teatrino è noioso
Voglio bruciare agli inferi
Insieme a tutti i soldi che me so' sparato in corpo
De' zona, er mostro
Aspetta che ritorno dal coma più profondo
Ricordate 'sto stronzo, ricordate der mostro
Il mostro fa, il mostro dice, il mostro sparla
Inala, spara e tratta la bianca, la gialla
Il mostro è un pazzo e basta
'Na troia che ci casca, 'na voglia dietro l'altra
La noia che te squaglia
Come si fa a vivere 'sta vita, eh?
Come stai, come mai pensi sia finita?
Niente che me renda vivo, niente de cui sono privo
Niente che mi leghi a questo squallido destino
