[Verse 1]
[G]And if you ask me, Carlos,
as you know so much,
why don't you talk to
the people here?
My people is,
I speak their [D]voices.[Dm]
[F]But actually, they have no [Bb]means
to change, no more,
[G]because they are controlled
by social [D]changes.[Dm][F]
Listen up, I [Bb]told you before,
20 years ago,
[G]Brazil was the country number 40.
Now Brazil is the country number 80.
It means [F#m]that we progressed 32 points.
So, instead [G]of,
why do they give me money
[Em]to buy my food,
[G]and why do [F#m]they raise
my salary
proportionally to 149 reals,
[G]which is not[A]hing?
[Dm]Because if they do so,
[F]I can't decide how [Bb]to spend my money.
If [G]I have to face a long line
in the Federal [D]Bank,
with [Dm]all my documents,
[F]to receive a check that's already
[Bb]under my name,
They [G]are doing [F#m]you a favor.[Em]
So [F#m]these people never open their mouth.
When you see,
protest[G]s in Brazil
have nothing to do with the poor ones.
Poor people, they protest,
they lose the money to buy [D]food.[F]
[Bb]So, no matter what,
nobody want to [G]listen to you, you know?
[D]So, all sides are happy.
Per[F]sons are doing very well.
Good sides are happy.
[Bb]Social chances are doing very well.
[G]I'm the only one that suffers.
But I'm still optimistic.
Only education can change it.
Okay? you
