The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
You must kill, another body killed
We must kill, another blood is spilled
You must kill, another soul is ill
We must kill, another life killed
We must kill, another deadly sin
You must kill, another orphan land
We must kill, another atrocity
You must kill, another misery
You must kill, and blood will follow
We must kill, there?s no tomorrow
You must kill, death will follow
We must kill, there?s no tomorrow
[x4]
Judgment, torment, execution
You must kill, this is not a drill
We must kill, this is for real
You must kill, another body ill
You must kill, another blood is spilled
[x4]
Judgment, torment, execution
Um, dois, treis, quatro...
[x20]
Must kill
We must kill, another blood is spilled
You must kill, another soul is ill
We must kill, another life killed
We must kill, another deadly sin
You must kill, another orphan land
We must kill, another atrocity
You must kill, another misery
You must kill, and blood will follow
We must kill, there?s no tomorrow
You must kill, death will follow
We must kill, there?s no tomorrow
[x4]
Judgment, torment, execution
You must kill, this is not a drill
We must kill, this is for real
You must kill, another body ill
You must kill, another blood is spilled
[x4]
Judgment, torment, execution
Um, dois, treis, quatro...
