Lyrics
CHIEF OF POLICE
The disorder smites the good people
the noise of all the music
in our streets
disfigures our good city
the disgusting mixing of the humans
as good people must disinfect
troublemaker
troublemaker
there's no room in this town
for the troublemaker that you are
All the street people, friends and workers now gather around.
THE WORKERS AND THE HOMELESS
Always the same story
the hate of the poor
yesterday's victims
tomorrow's culprits
unemployment
partial justice
CHIEF OF POLICE
Depravity
delinquency
THE FRIEND
No violence, no hate
valorous and solidaire
at work one day he saved my life
as fate would have it he met a sidereal love
and we know what it is...
what it is
what it is
what it is
CHIEF OF POLICE
the streets were made to move the good people
from home to church
from church to the work
far from the excitation
now these tramps these dirty swarming people
put everywhere
their rotten mess
troublemaker
troublemaker
we will eradicate the disease in the town that you are
troublemaker
troublemaker
there's a room in this town for the troublemaker
that you are
a new day is coming
I've seen the grey flag
the ultimate disaster
before the new time
filthy vagrants
propagation
disinfection
