Perfeição
Renato Russo
Perfection
Let's celebrate human stupidity
The stupidity of all nations
My country and its gang of murderers
Cowards, rapists, and thieves
Let's celebrate the stupidity of the people
Our police and television
Let's celebrate our government
And our state, which is not a nation
Celebrate the youth without education
The dead children
Celebrate our disunity
Let's celebrate Eros and Thanatos
Persephone and Hades
Let's celebrate our sadness
Let's celebrate our vanity
Let's commemorate like idiots
Every February and holiday
All the dead on the roads
The dead due to lack of hospitals
Let's celebrate our justice
Greed and defamation
Let's celebrate prejudices
The votes of the illiterate
Celebrate the rotten water
And all the taxes
Burnings, lies, and kidnappings
Our house of marked cards
Slave labor
Our small universe
All hypocrisy and affectation
All theft and indifference
Let's celebrate epidemics
It's the party of the champion crowd!
Let's celebrate hunger
Having no one to listen to
Having no one to love
Let's feed what is evil
Let's hurt the heart
Let's celebrate our flag
Our past of glorious absurdities
Everything that is free and ugly
Everything that is normal
Let's sing together the national anthem
(The tear is real)
Let's celebrate our longing
And celebrate our loneliness
Let's celebrate envy
Intolerance and incomprehension
Let's celebrate violence
And forget our people
Who worked honestly their whole lives
And now have no rights to anything
Let's celebrate the aberration
Of all our lack of common sense
Our disregard for education
Let's celebrate the horror
Of all this - with party, wake, and coffin
It's all dead and buried now
Since we can't celebrate
The stupidity of those who sang this song
Come, my heart is in a hurry
When hope is scattered
Only the truth sets me free
Enough of evil and illusion
Come, love always has the door open
And spring is coming
Our future begins again
Come, what is coming is perfection
