Nunca Serão
Gabriel O Pensador
They Will Never Be
I was walking in my Rio de Janeiro when someone stopped me and said:
"Hey buddy, give me your hand so I can see if it smells
Because I'm an honest guy and I hate stoners"
I had just come out of the bathroom and I gave him my hand to smell
But it was a bizarre scene
He smelled my hand for a while and I said:
Wait, aren't you Captain Nascimento?
What a shame, my captain
Looking for weed on the boardwalk
What's your mission?
I saw your movie but don't take it the wrong way
Don't torture me like this, I'm a nice guy
In some things I agree with you
But that's not how you'll find the big criminals
This country is screwed
He said: "I know that
When I joined the PM, I made a commitment, I fight for justice"
Me too
Without justice there's no peace and without peace I'm a hostage
Injustice is blind and justice sees well
But only when it suits
The law is for the strongest, in Bope or in Febem
In the streets or in the Supreme Court
What justice do we have, what justice do we want?
The corrupt ousted?
They will never be!
Well-informed citizens?
They will never be!
Well-equipped hospitals?
They will never be! They will never be!! They will never be!!!
Taxes well used?
They will never be!
Educated minors?
They will never be!
Everyone literate?
They will never be! They will never be!! They will never be!!!
Captain, I don't know if you heard about this story
That happened in a Peruvian village if my memory serves me right
A politician was killed by the people
A corrupt man lynched by a people tired of disrespect
And decided to seek justice this way
It was a lynching, it was a bad example
It was a bad example but it's still an example
I'm against violence but here we sin by excess of patience
With the
