Svedok (Saradnik)

'Teo bi cvaki da ima život ovaki
Da bude kriminalac, Porše – Kavasaki
Ovo pravi je gangsteraj, opusti se i pevaj
Odrast'o na ulici gde je, vazda, bio belaj
Poč'o sam u Švabiji, selidbe, moleraj
Bauštel sa Turcima, kuntao sa Kurdima
Doš'o sam iz pičkovca, kog nema ni na mapi
Na Zapadu naučio šta je život pravi

Ovde sam se šlifov'o, ispek'o sam zanat
Rekao sam sebi, ma uspeću ja, garant
Naš'o bolju šljaku, malo radio na kvaku
Nisam bir'o klijentelu, prim'o svaku stranku
Gilipteri me navukli kad sam otiš'o za Frankfurt
Da, s' čarapom na glavi, vozim ih u banku
Tu sam malo odrobi'o, jebi ga, klinac sam bio
Iznabad'o svakog ko bi me proziv'o

To sam radio za primer, da stekao bih ime
Jer rekli su mi stariji da tako to ide
Kad izaš'o sam vani, iz službe su me zvali
Da obavim neki poslić, novi pasoš su mi dali
Ja gledam, moja slika, ali piše drugo ime
Ništa nisu rekli, samo gde treba da idem
Iz Hamburga sam, trajektom, otiš'o za Štokholm
Četnike i Ustaše, sve sam ih izrok'o

Rekli mi, zadrži sve ono što si pokr'o
Noću diskoteke, trošio sam mnogo
Skupilo se društvo, svi iz bivše Juge
Tamo besneo je rat, a mi svi zlatne čuke
Tad se raspala i služba, ali ne i naša družba
Tamo dole sankcije, a nama ovde žurka

Svi znaju ko sam ja, da sam došao sa dna
I zato grabim sve što mogu jer mi pripada
Ma znaju ko sam ja, služba, vojska, murija
I zato grabim sve što mogu, jer mi pripada

Prešli via Zürich, sve do Azurne obale
Kartijerove zlatare, mnogo nam se dopale
Za oko su nam zapale, prebogate strankinje
Sve su, redom, htele da probaju muškarčine
Mi svi mladi sportisti, tetovaže, ožiljci
Duge kose nosili, nismo im oprostili
Posle ih orobili, pa za franke, podvodili
Sve smo redom držali, ne pitaj me rođeni

I da ne veruješ, tako mi u Ricu nešto klopali
U sred zalogaja zvonim, u malo da se zadavim
Vidim +381, možda majka me treba
Ili neko od mojih sa sela, ko me zove u sred jela
Kad neki nepoznat glas kaže, znaš ti ko je ovde
Ti se tu zajebavaš, dok se naši ovde bore
Brzo pakuj torbe, još sutra da si ovde
Nemoj da nam vrdaš, da ne pravimo problem

Znao sam ja ko je, spakov'o se brže-bolje
Ma ima petnaest godina da nisam bio dole
Taman sam se ponadao da videću moje
Kad ono malo morgen, eto mene u sred Bosne
Sa činom i ekipom, blindiranim džipom
Sve po naređenju ja ništa nisam pit'o
Ništa nisam pip'o sem malo bele tehnike
Kojekakvih kuraca smo trpali na šlepere

Kad sam doš'o u Beograd, sve sam mrko gled'o
Sve te gradske mangupčiće, za čas sam poređ'o
Hohštaplerčiće i sline, što tu mi nešto glume
A može, vrana, sa zemlje, u dupe da im kljune
I nije bilo teško, da sve im lepo uzmem
Takav je moj život, ja drugačije ne umem

I ceo grad me zna, kao da sam s' asfalta
I neka misle svi, da, teška sam seljačina
Jer, ceo grad me zna, pevaljka, manekenka
I svaka kaže da sam ljakse, al' mi, ipak, da

Ovaj grad i zemlju, ja nikad nisam voleo
Ovde sam živeo, samo zato što sam morao
Ovde, sve je na prodaju, e vidiš, to mi se dopalo
Za, baš male pare kupiš sve što je propalo
I firme i ljude, stek'o sam i ugled
Prijemi, parade, kokteli, ambasade
Plaćao sam stranke, ovakve i onakve
Bilborde, reklame, turneje, kampanje

Pevale mi razne, ove estradne i gradske
Što misle da sam ljakse, al' za kintu sve rade
Sazidao par crkava, da malo smirim savest
Posle svega što sam prošao, noću teško zaspim
Al' preko dana naspem, tu i tamo i povučem
Samo malo, da sredim, nisam ja navučen
Nego, svašta čujem, i šta treba i šta ne treba
Kriminal i politika, e u tome ti je nevolja

Ove što sam izdržav'o, sad im postalo malo
A mnogo ih je plašilo, što o njima sve sam znao
Pokrenula se istraga o mome poslovanju
Tražili me, al' me nisu našli na imanju
Ja ih nisam čeko, al' nisam otiš'o daleko
Već dole na primorje, gde ruka ruku miluje
Tu nema ekstradicije, il' kako se to kaže
Ovde sam slobodan ko galeb

Mogu do sutra da me traže
I tako, ja i moji jataci, sedeli na obali
Smejali se, pričali, neke jastoge klopali
I da ne veruješ, rođeni
Ponovo zvoni mi mobilni
Dobri, stari glas, što me godinama progoni
Kaže, opet smo te pronašli, od nas neceš pobeći
Biraj šta ti draže, saradnik il' pokojnik

Preseče me živog, ovo nisam očekiv'o
Nije bilo lako da napravim izbor
Al' jebi ga, šta ću, svakom svoje dupe milo
Spakov'o se, klisn'o, na sudu sve sam prizn'o
I stare drugare, sve sam, redom, izd'o
Očekiv'o najgore, da ovaj put, sam rikn'o
Al' ponovo me život, na sreću iznenadio
Desilo se ono, čemu nisam se ni nadao

Čista prošlost, čista savest, nemam zašto da se kajem
Dobro je da, ovde, ljudi stvarno slabo pamte
Imam novi ugovor, nekim drugima sad dajem
I kol'ko vidim, rođeni, još dugo ću da trajem
(Imam novi ugovor, nekim drugima sad dajem)
(I kol'ko vidim, rođeni, još dugo ću da trajem)

I svako dete zna, ceo svet pod nogama
A ti se pitaš, kako, šta si, dušo, mislila
I svako dete zna, ceo svet pod nogama
A ja se pitam samo, kol'ko košta Srbija

Witness (Collaborator)

Everyone wants a life like this, baby
To be a criminal, Porsche – Kawasaki
This is real gangster stuff, relax and sing along
Grew up on the streets where there was always trouble
Started in Germany, moving, painting
Construction with Turks, argued with Kurds
Came from a nowhere town, not even on the map
Learned what real life is in the West, darling

Honed my skills here, learned my trade
Told myself, I'll make it, I guarantee
Found a better gig, worked a little on the side
Didn't choose my clientele, took every customer
Got hooked on easy money when I went to Frankfurt
Yeah, with a stocking on my head, driving them to the bank
Did some time there, damn, I was a kid
Stabbed anyone who messed with me, sweetheart

I did it to make an example, to make a name for myself
Because the older guys told me that's how it goes
When I got out, they called me from the agency
To do a little job, they gave me a new passport
I look, it's my picture, but a different name
They didn't say anything, just where I needed to go
From Hamburg, by ferry, I went to Stockholm
Chetniks and Ustashas, I wasted them all

They told me, keep everything you stole, honey
Nightclubs, I spent a lot
The crew gathered, all from the former Yugoslavia
War raged down there, and we all had golden watches
Then the agency fell apart, but not our friendship
Sanctions down there, and a party up here for us

Everyone knows who I am, that I came from the bottom
And that's why I grab everything I can because it belongs to me
Yeah, they know who I am, the agency, the army, the cops
And that's why I grab everything I can, because it's mine

Went via Zurich, all the way to the French Riviera
Cartier jewelers, we really liked them
Super rich foreigners caught our eye
They all wanted to try out real men, babe
We were all young athletes, tattoos, scars
We had long hair, we didn't spare them
Robbed them, then pimped them out for francs
We ran everything, don't even ask, darling

Believe it or not, we were eating something in Nice
Mid-bite, my phone rings, almost choked
I see +381, maybe my mother needs me
Or someone from my village, calling me in the middle of a meal
When an unknown voice says, you know who this is
You're messing around while our people are fighting back home
Pack your bags quickly, be here tomorrow
Don't give us the runaround, don't make it a problem

I knew who it was, packed my bags quickly
Haven't been down there in fifteen years
I was hoping I'd see my family
But no way, there I was in the middle of Bosnia
With a rank and a crew, an armored jeep
Following orders, I didn't ask anything
Didn't touch anything except some white goods
Loading all sorts of crap onto trucks

When I came to Belgrade, I looked at everything grimly
All those city slickers, I put them in their place quickly
Hucksters and punks, pretending something to me
A crow can peck them in the ass from the ground
And it wasn't hard to take everything from them nicely
That's my life, I don't know any other way, sweetheart

And the whole city knows me, like I'm from the streets
And let everyone think, yeah, I'm a real hick
Because the whole city knows me, singers, models
And every one of them says I'm a lowlife, but they still give it to me

I never loved this city and country
I lived here only because I had to
Here, everything is for sale, see, that's what I liked
For very little money you buy everything that's gone bankrupt
Both companies and people, I gained respect too
Receptions, parades, cocktails, embassies
I paid political parties, all kinds
Billboards, advertisements, tours, campaigns

Various singers sang for me, pop stars and local ones
Who think I'm a lowlife, but they'll do anything for money
Built a couple of churches, to ease my conscience a bit
After everything I've been through, it's hard to fall asleep at night
But during the day I catch some sleep, here and there, and I indulge
Just a little, to relax, I'm not hooked
But I hear all sorts of things, what I should and shouldn't
Crime and politics, that's where the trouble is

The ones I supported, now it's not enough for them
And many were scared because I knew everything about them
They started an investigation into my business
They were looking for me, but they didn't find me at my estate
I didn't wait for them, but I didn't go far
But down to the coast, where one hand washes the other
There's no extradition there, or whatever it's called
I'm free as a bird here

They can look for me till tomorrow
And so, me and my buddies, sitting on the shore
Laughing, talking, eating some lobsters
And believe it or not, darling
My phone rings again
That good old voice that's been haunting me for years
Says, we found you again, you won't escape us
Choose what you prefer, collaborator or dead man

It hit me hard, I didn't expect this
It wasn't easy to make a choice
But damn, what can I do, everyone loves their own skin
Packed my bags, slipped away, confessed everything in court
And ratted out all my old friends
Expected the worst, that this time I'd croak
But life surprised me again, luckily
What I never expected happened

Clean past, clean conscience, I have nothing to regret
It's good that people here have a really short memory
I have a new contract, now I give to others
And as I see it, darling, I'll last a long time
(I have a new contract, now I give to others)
(And as I see it, darling, I'll last a long time)

And every kid knows, the whole world at my feet
And you're wondering how, what were you thinking, honey
And every kid knows, the whole world at my feet
And I'm only wondering, how much does Serbia cost
