A Ordem do Inverso
Juliana Franco
The Order of the Reverse
They stole my love for Brazil
Took away my peace and no one saw
Took my wallet from my pocket
The order and progress of the flag
They stole the museum's old canvas
The morality of the soap opera
The impartiality of the press
From the simple citizen, the conscience
They stole the freedom to express
Privacy, the cellphone
The honesty of the Congress
Charged my ticket in this circus
They stole my team in the final
Bought the referee and the court
Stole the poetry from the song
And the ideals of the revolution
So everything is fine and what is right no longer matters
It's the order of the reverse in the Brazil of indifference
So everything is fine and what is right no longer matters
It's the order of the reverse in the Brazil of who gives more
They stole the hospital's medicine
The truth from the electoral space
Stole the chicken from the backyard
Bought the headline of the newspaper
They stole the prison bars
Put them on the windows, on the gate
From the anthem they stole the beloved homeland
And shallowness is idolized
They stole the environmental awareness
And the green no longer sprouts in the backyard
The polluted water is no longer good
They took the wood from the forest
Took the life of an innocent
Released because they were a teenager
Stole the trust in the police
Set up a scheme with the militia
So everything is fine and what is right no longer matters
It's the order of the reverse in the Brazil of indifference
So everything is fine and what is right no longer matters
It's the order of the reverse in the Brazil of who gives more
They stole the passion from football
In the TV advertisement
Coca-Cola no longer quenches my thirst
And the star now is the one who scores
They stole the image of the church
I pray for God to protect me
Stole the money from the project
Stole the reason for my protest
I no longer see my friends
And the conversation is on social media
Stole the patience from the couple
Took the innocence from the child
Where is the good example? It's gone
Took authority even from parents
Didn't take the child's pacifier
It was easier to steal our hope
So everything is fine and what is right no longer matters
It's the order of the reverse in the Brazil of indifference
So everything is fine and what is right no longer matters
It's the order of the reverse in the Brazil of who gives more
