Testo e musica di Avogadro

All we heard was a strange sound
of a heavy weapon rebel forces reached the town
ready to overthrow the government no more letting the grass grow under 'em feet
It was time the government (was) about to suffer defeat
civilians were shown love by the rebel
military was considered a devil
their response was an artillery shell, screaming screw y'all go to hell
situation got out of control
there was only one goal
come to power and you'll be respected
listen up here comes the unexpected
You know military ain't supposed to be soft
I seen many of them throwing 'em clothes off
scared to death while the guerrillas were fighting 'till last breath
any way the government couldn't hold their own
so they were overthrown.

Definition of a civil war:
To live real rough and raw
More murder furthermore
No one is promised tomorrow
Definition of a civil war:
To live real rough and raw
More murder furthermore
No one is promised tomorrow

Narrate precisely as if I wrote it in a diary though
some broke in the artillery store
we all rushed to get a gat
every one cocked back
many shot a friend or get shot by accident just like that
the whole nation moved backward and took nomadic tradition
Every killing was a clan affiliation
rebel forces prepared for rival clan warfare
It became a battlefield
where much innocent blood is spilt
What the fuck is democracy when the leader is lying
and the US helicopters were firing
down the hospitals? No! We can't forget
and they used to say that was a missing target
did they have to miss 'em all? Why do they call it operation
other than war but never come to help? They take advantage of the situation.

Definition of a civil war:
To live real rough and raw
More murder furthermore
No one is promised tomorrow
Definition of a civil war:
To live real rough and raw
More murder furthermore
No one is promised tomorrow

Operation restore hope started as a mission in creep coalition
building they never made it caused an ill-fated military intervention.
Every body is cautious, nobody gives suspicious
look; it is a city full of vicious
Antimilitary day and night
ready for an infamous gun fight
battle of the black sea and heavy ground combat
they blast ya ass like hey never come back
they believed fake cops never made peace
dragging an American soldier's corpse (u know) through the streets
that's '93 when the US get hurt
now they are saying we get AlQa'eda network
come on now, you know and I know we ain't got none of that
They wanna take revenge on '93 that is why they wanna come back.

Definition of a civil war:
To live real rough and raw
More murder furthermore
No one is promised tomorrow
Definition of a civil war:
To live real rough and raw
More murder furthermore
No one is promised tomorrow

Give me a pen and a paper or mic, my rap-equipment
I am really in my element
delivering this like a food shipment
to a war zone different from mission in creep
feed innocent ones and leave the rest cry to sleep
Hey don't make me spit like Ramazzotti
Avogadro viene dall' Anzaloti
yeah I'mma African, I'mma African
(What!) And I know what's happening
you're trying to scare me by rhyming about gun clapping
Shit you must be outta ya fucking mind, mind, mind, mind.
