Abstenção (A.K.A)

Abstention (A.K.A)
Grandmother of Sam The Kid
He doesn't control me
Because he's a worthless jerk to me
But tell him that himself
He means nothing to me because he's crap
He doesn't understand any of this
He's only here to take orders
To give orders? No
Work!
The people, united
Will never be defeated
Yeah, I'm not licensed or registered
With patience, someone accredited will appear, with morals
To make me vote, make me fight, make me notice
And make me listen to the election campaign
For now, it's just comedy, money manipulates the media
That exceed in scaring our people with fear
I don't vote, I boycott the polls, I wanted nighttime hours
I know what my future is, but I won't wake up early
To cast a blank vote or elect a jerk or a crook
Or someone who governs only with charm but in a month gives a suit
And they stumble, barely starting when they break the promise
Don't ask me for interest, you're not interested
I don't need reflection, I'm already decided
I only vote for the truth and I don't see it in any party
My prediction is the guaranteed privilege
For a kid in school, grandson of someone known
And I am the percentage that the polls never show
I am the exhausted mind of the poorly composed mirage
I am the indifference and dissatisfaction
I am the non-attendance, I am abstention
For many, it's a flaw, it's indeed imperfect
And respect comes from the elected one soon
For me, it's just another card that will only give me a deficit
Will only give me hunger when all I want is peace
And I take that to heart, this appeal is rustic, not supported, I am
Comfort in the abortion of freedom of choice, but only
I hear words without actions, put a cork
And end the game, kids burst the bubble
The language is not raw and having more remorse
And I never saw you on the street except on billboards
Or bear, the speech is coincidence
Everyone wants presidency to have a new residence
It's my impression, my outburst
Neurons memorize on TV all the gaffe and the staff
Clean your mouth from kisses that don't convince
You win, you no longer belong to the people, think a little
And start over, anew
Change and remove (the sacrifice of the people)
And I return the indifference to screw parties and blocs
They are the ones in high, we're here counting pennies
And I am the percentage that the polls never show
I am the exhausted mind of the poorly composed mirage
I am the indifference and dissatisfaction
I am the non-attendance, I am abstention
You are fake justice that tramples our voice
That's what the research of our ancestors tells us
Some say that the united people
Will not be defeated and I don't doubt that
The people, united
Will never be defeated
Grandmother of Sam The Kid
My father was a very intelligent man
He didn't owe anything to these bastards, these sons of bitches
Why did they study and I didn't?
Why do they have more education than me?
Oh, you don't know, because their parents were already
Thieves more than mine

And we also have here some people who
Work inside the prison
And haven't had the opportunity to work outside yet
When you see your colleagues leaving every day
Do you also feel like leaving?
Interviewee
It's like this, I feel like leaving but my situation
Is different from his because I don't know if I'll be able to benefit from the ravé
Because my sentence is short and I'm almost done
But it's good, it's good to see this and it's good that more of my companions
Who are here and have longer sentences can benefit from it
And so much, we've been seeing by, the people
The celebrities who are here today
The Minister of Justice, the Mayor of Sintra
Journalist
But don't you feel a little envious every day
When you see them leaving?
Interviewee
It's like this, we can't, we can't go there
We can't use that term of envy
Because it's good that this happens because besides
Them starting to reintegrate into society, they're starting to wake up
They're starting to believe that there's something else, that life is good
And we come, we come from
We're used to a world inside
That is totally different from this one
And like this, we can start to have more expectations
Start to enjoy life better
