Globalização

Globalization is the new wave
The empire of capital in action
Making its routine round

In the ghetto there is nothing new
Beyond the suffocation that is never little
Beyond the fear and unemployment, violence and impatience
Of those who left for despair in a one-way trip
Beyond the revolt of those who live around
With the exploitation and humiliation of a ruthless system
Nothing new
Beyond the poverty and sadness of those who feel betrayed and forgotten
Seeing their undernourished children without education
Growing up next to sewers, banished reluctantly by society
Declared identity-less criminals
Who will be repressed in summary execution
Without any appeal

There is nothing new between earth and sky
Nothing new
Except the old dragon and its dark veil of destruction and fire
Sucking blood from the people
From generation to generation
Speculating around the world
It's just the old system of the dragon
No, there is no illusion, illusion
There will only be more tribulation, tribulation

The leaders of the system impose their motto:
Free market, a world educated to consume and exist without questioning

They don't think about reducing or taming the voracity
And the mischief of savage capitalism
With their multinational tentacles they want more, and more, and more...
Abusive profits
Big executives are their wealthy servants
They don't care about hunger, about human rights
They want to grab the globe, dividing the cake among a few
Leaving crumbs for the rest of the rabble, in their many plans
They don't see humans and their values, only millions and millions of consumers
They are so optimistic in their statistics and predictions
Talking about growth, about development for many and many generations

There is nothing new between earth and sky
Nothing new
Except the old dragon and its dark veil of destruction and fire
Sucking blood from the people
From generation to generation
Speculating around the world
It's just the old system of the dragon
No, there is no illusion, illusion
There will only be more tribulation, tribulation

They don't feel the critical moment, perhaps apocalyptic
The Asian tigers are a typical example
Now they look more like sickly and asthmatic kittens
If the system breaks, it will be a matter of time
Until rationing and shortages arrive
What a sinister situation!
The swollen and devastated globe with overpopulation
Times of barbarism will come, times of exodus and dispersion
Water can turn into gold
Food a rich treasure

Globalization is a false notion of what integration would be
With all due respect to the integrity and dignity of each nation

It is the unfortunate law of big capital
The power of international money that makes each country just another backyard
It is the power of money ruling the whole world

The rich getting richer and more conceited
The poor getting poorer and bankrupt
Globalization, the delirium of the dragon!
