Better cross yourself before you leave your home
Don forget to carry your I.D.
Anytime you walk the streets in Salvador
You can tell what kind of eyes you meet
Cus when night comes
They'll hunt you down
They'll take your life and leave you to be found
No one can protect your life in Salvador
Judges that condem you have no names
Could it be that gentleman that lives next door
Or the guy who goes with you to work.
(?)what men can walk and sing the way you
They can tell a joke and smile at girls
Men who kill have heroes who play soccer too
And argue with their kids about the world
But right or wrong
They'll hunt you down
And then go home to sleep next to the gun
No one can protect your life in Salvador
Judges that condem you have no names
Could it be the gentleman that lives next door
Or the guy that goes with you to work.
In a country where all faces look the same
(?)
When your best friend dissapears who's to be blamed
Think they know in Rome what's going on
Think the pope knows
Then when night comes
They hunt us down
And take our lives
And leaves us to be found
Salvador, wolfman come out
Show the moon our heads covered with blood
Nothing can protect your life in Salvador
Judges that condem you have no names
Could it be that gentleman that lives next door?
Or the guy who goes with you to work
You don't know, I don't know
Nothing can protect your life in Salvador
Judges that condem you have no names
Could it be, could it be the gentleman that lives next door?
Or the friend who rides with you to work
