Até Quando?

It's no use looking at the sky
With a lot of faith and little struggle
Get up because you have a lot of protesting to do
And a lot of strikes, you can, you must, believe

It's no use looking at the ground
Turning your face away not to see
Realize that they put you on a cross just because Jesus
Suffered doesn't mean you have to suffer!

Until when will you keep using reins? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you laugh at your own tragedy?
Until when will you keep using reins?
Poor, rich, or middle class
Until when will you take silent blows?
Change, change that attitude
Until when will you remain silent?
Change because fear is a way of censorship

Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you do nothing?
Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you be a punching bag?

You try to be happy, don't see how depressing it is
Your child without school, your old man toothless
You try to be content and don't see how revolting it is
You're unemployed and your daughter is pregnant
You pretend to be deaf, don't see how absurd it is
You, who are innocent, were caught red-handed!
It's all blatant! It's all blatant!

Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you do nothing?
Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you be a punching bag?

The police
Killed the student
Said he was a criminal
Called him a drug dealer!
The justice system
Arrested the poor guy
Released the congressman
And acquitted the police officers from Vigário!

Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you do nothing?
Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you be a punching bag?

The police only exist to keep you in line
Law of silence, law of the weakest
Either accept being a punching bag or go down
The programming exists to keep you ahead
In front of the TV, to entertain you
So you don't see that you are the programmed one!
Wake up, I have no job, I look for work, I want to work
The guy asks for my diploma, I don't have a diploma, I couldn't study
And they want me to be polite, to dress well, to speak well
What the world asks of me is not what the world gives me
I get a job, start the job, work myself to death
I wake up very early, have no peace or time to think
I don't ask for mercy, but where do I get if I stay in the same place?
The toy the child asks me for, I don't have money to give!
School! Alms!
Slum, jail!
No land, bury!
No income, surrender! No! No!

Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you do nothing?
Until when will you endure? (Beating! Beating!)
Until when will you be a punching bag?

Change, because when we change, the world changes with us
We change the world in the change of the mind
And when the mind changes, we move forward
And when we lead, no one leads us!
In the change of attitude, there is no evil that doesn't change or disease without cure
In the change of posture, we become more secure
In the change of the present, we shape the future!

Until when will you keep taking beatings
Until when will you do nothing
Until when will you be a punching bag?
Until when will you endure
