Ojo Por Ojo

Eye for an eye

The world is crazy
Where it's common to hate the other
I hate those who are different
What's wrong with people today
Hasn't enough innocent blood been shed?

Eye for an eye and the world goes blind
Extreme fundamentalism
Where dog eats dog
Against whoever bit first
Eye for an eye

How many more must fall
How many must you subdue
As a show of power
Trapped in your web
Of war, you are a slave
Your pseudonym is tyrant
Is that just how life is?
Who lives by the sword, dies by the sword!

Eye for an eye and the world goes blind
Extreme fundamentalism
Where dog eats dog
Against whoever bit first
Eye for an eye

Any justification is good for making war
The worn-out speech of democracy but in a perverse way
With economic interests behind it
Monotheistic doctrines that
Spawn fundamentalists
Does murder stop being a sin when it's against someone
From the other side?
Without going far, looking in the mirror
Our rival is an enemy to kill
We take a side at the stadium
Or radicalize our musical taste
We don't realize that our hatred
Is a reflection of a series of fears and complexes
For feeling inferior to the rest

Eye for an eye and the world goes blind
Extreme fundamentalism
Where dog eats dog
Against whoever bit first
Eye for an eye
