If you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the gun, you gonna die by the gun
If you live for the knife, well, you’re gonna get stabbed
Run into the law, well, you’re gonna get nabbed
If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass
I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good
If you wanna get rich, better sit on the board
If you wanna be poor, better pay the landlord
If you’re deep in the crime, well, you’re deep in the slime
If you’re living a lie, look me straight in the eye
If you’re locked in the jail, well, you better get free
If you’re looking for love, don’t go running to me
I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good
It’s too late to say you’re sorry, sorry, sorry
And soon it will be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
If you live like a whore, better be hardcore
If you live by the clock, well, you’re in for a shock
If you’re living for food, better lick up your plate
If you wanna be in fashion, well, you’ll be out of date
I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good
I’m gonna treat you right
I’m gonna treat you good
Oh, if you live by the sword, oh yeah
Get shot up, you better call 911
And then you better hang out until the ambulance comes
If you live by the sword
Gonna die by the sword, oh yeah
If you die by the sword
If you live by the gun
If you live by the gun
If you live by the gun, gonna die by the gun
Oh yeah
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I Rolling Stones sono una leggendaria band rock britannica formatasi nel 1962 a Londra. Composta da Mick Jagger (voce), Keith Richards (chitarra), Ronnie Wood (chitarra) e Charlie Watts (batteria, deceduto nel 2021), i Rolling Stones hanno dominato la scena musicale per oltre mezzo secolo. La formazione storica includeva anche Bill Wyman (basso, ritiratosi nel 1993) e Brian Jones (multi-strumentista, deceduto nel 1969). Dopo la scomparsa di Jones, Mick Taylor ha sostituito il suo ruolo fino al 1974. I Rolling Stones sono considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della storia del rock, con un sound caratterizzato da blues, hard rock e ritmi lascivi. Le loro canzoni spesso affrontano temi come sesso, droghe, disordini sociali e politica, diventando un'icona di ribellione e libertà. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', 'Sympathy for the Devil' e 'Paint It Black'. Album fondamentali includono 'Let It Bleed', 'Sticky Fingers' e 'Exile on Main St.', che hanno contribuito a definire l'evoluzione del rock nel corso degli anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
