Não Respondo Por Mim

Os Quatro e Meia Os Quatro e Meia

I Can't Be Responsible for Myself

Stuck in the hellish traffic of the city
I can't even control my anxiety
The line I'm in
Barely moves at all
Only the clock never tires

Monday's the day of the biggest mess
And the other days are just the same
I spend an hour getting from home to work
In the center of this chaos

I’m heading to work first thing in the morning
But at this rate, I won’t get there until tomorrow
I’m gonna lose my mind living like this
The day is so long and I can't be responsible for myself

I’m heading to work first thing in the morning
But at this rate, I won’t get there until tomorrow
I’m gonna lose my mind living like this
The day is so long and I can't be responsible for myself

Sitting behind the wheel of my car, impatient
I mentally insult the others
I turn up my radio to catch the news
About protests and police

Yesterday there were clashes outside the parliament
And I think about it for a moment
Even I feel aggressive now
The city is swallowing me alive

I’m heading to work first thing in the morning
But at this rate, I won’t get there until tomorrow
I’m gonna lose my mind living like this
The day is so long and I can't be responsible for myself

I’m heading to work first thing in the morning
But at this rate, I won’t get there until tomorrow
I’m gonna lose my mind living like this
The day is so long and I can't be responsible for myself

The port city
Is getting a bit tight
Traffic is at a standstill
Because of a heavy truck accident
There's diesel spilled
And you need to be careful when leaving
For the supply market

And the traffic cops
Are kindly asking
The mountain of people
Who want to see the accident
To control their minds
And politely
Just keep moving, please

And if you’re in the capital of our country
Madness is the norm
Today there's a strike with the buses
If you live in the village
Everything you ever wanted
Just put on a big smile
And pretend you’re happy

The second lane is on the Pragal bridge
On the second circular road, it’s morning chaos
If you’re coming from Amadora to the capital
It’s all jammed up like usual

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

I’m heading to work first thing in the morning
But at this rate
I won’t get there until tomorrow

I’m gonna lose my mind living like this
The day is so long and I can't be responsible for myself
I’m heading to work first thing in the morning
But at this rate, I won’t get there until tomorrow

I’m gonna lose my mind living like this
The day is so long and I can't be responsible for myself
I can't be responsible for myself
I can't be responsible for myself, I can't be responsible for myself
