And no woman has her husband

and could be friends.
But before they get to know each other
shoot yourself dead.

A lot of money for the few bigwigs
They build tanks and rockets,
and then buy gold and diamonds,
for you elegant woman.

that there will be no agreement,
which God is the true one

Why does it have to be like that?
