Root of All Evil

Courtney Taylor, Peter Holmstrom

Lyrics Translation

I might be preaching to the choir
But the root of all evil is desire
And human nature is to acquire fire

The idiots rule 'cause they conspire
Political-minded people should all retire
They keep going around, around, around
Around, around, around like a tire

I want to get higher
Higher, higher, higher

We're getting down to the wire
This city is like a funeral pyre
Always led by someone who is a liar
You never hear it from the town crier

Fire, fire, fire
It's only get higher
And higher and higher and higher

Sea level is getting higher
The polar bears are getting tired
They need to get more wired
It's dire

I want to get higher
Higher, higher and higher
Higher, higher and higher
It's only gonna get higher
And higher and higher and higher

I might be preaching to the choir
Puede que esté predicando al coro
But the root of all evil is desire
Pero la raíz de todo mal es el deseo
And human nature is to acquire fire
Y es naturaleza humana adquirir fuego
The idiots rule 'cause they conspire
Los idiotas gobiernan porque conspiran
Political-minded people should all retire
Las personas con mentalidad política deberían retirarse
They keep going around, around, around
Siguen dando vueltas, vueltas, vueltas
Around, around, around like a tire
Vueltas, vueltas, vueltas como un neumático
I want to get higher
Quiero llegar más alto
Higher, higher, higher
Más alto, más alto, más alto
We're getting down to the wire
Estamos llegando al límite
This city is like a funeral pyre
Esta ciudad es como una pira funeraria
Always led by someone who is a liar
Siempre liderada por alguien que es un mentiroso
You never hear it from the town crier
Nunca lo oyes del pregonero
Fire, fire, fire
Fuego, fuego, fuego
It's only get higher
Solo va a subir
And higher and higher and higher
Y más alto y más alto y más alto
Sea level is getting higher
El nivel del mar está subiendo
The polar bears are getting tired
Los osos polares se están cansando
They need to get more wired
Necesitan estar más conectados
It's dire
Es grave
I want to get higher
Quiero llegar más alto
Higher, higher and higher
Más alto, más alto y más alto
Higher, higher and higher
Más alto, más alto y más alto
It's only gonna get higher
Solo va a subir
And higher and higher and higher
Y más alto y más alto y más alto
