Surrounded by protocol, entourage, and security, they travel incognito in armored cars to sow slander, to lie naturally, to hang their portrait in schoolsRodeados de protocolo, comitiva y seguridad, viajan de incógnito en autos blindados a sembrar calumnias, a mentir con naturalidad, a colgar en las escuelas su retrato
They spend more than they have on collecting spies, blacklists, and arsenalsSe gastan más de lo que tienen en coleccionar espías, listas negras y arsenales
It's embarrassing to see them boast to see who has the biggest oneResulta bochornoso verles fanfarronear a ver quién es el que la tiene más grande

They fight like cats and dogs, but to avoid getting dirty they go shit in other people's houses and experiment with new methods of massacring, sophisticated and convincing at the same timeSe agarran de los pelos, pero para no ensuciar van a cagar a casa de otra gente y experimentan nuevos métodos de masacrar, sofisticados y a la vez convincentes

Between those guys and me there's something personalEntre esos tipos y yo hay algo personal
