Burguesia [English translation]
Burguesia [English translation]
The upper class stinks
The upper class wants to get rich
As long as there's an upper class
There won't be poetry
The upper class has no charm and is not discreet
With its doll-like hair wigs
The upper class wants to be a partner of the Country
The upper class wants to go shopping in New York
Poor me, who came from within the upper class
I'm rich but I'm not petty
I also stink
I also stink
The upper class is ruining Barra1
Boats full of children and sinking
And they sleep, tranquilly
And they sleep, tranquilly
Their napkins are always clean
The mads are all in uniforms
It's caboclos2 wanting to be Englishmen
It's caboclos2 wanting to be Englishmen
The upper class stinks
The upper class wants to get rich
As long as there's an upper class
There won't be poetry
The upper class doesn't notice
How the girl selling candies suffer
The upper class only has eyes for itself
The upper class only has eyes for itself
The upper class is the right, it's the war
The upper class stinks
The upper class wants to get rich
As long as there's an upper class
There won't be poetry
People will see they're being robbed
There will be a revolution
Different from that one in 19643
Let's catch all the money stolen by the upper class
Let's protest
Let's protest
Let's protest
Let's protest
Protest, protest
Let's put an end in the upper class
Let's dynamite the upper class
Let's put the upper class in jail
In a farm where they would work like slaves
I'm from the upper class but I'm an artist
I'm with the people, the people
The upper class stinks - stinks, stinks,
The upper class wants to get rich
As long as there's an upper class
There won't be poetry
Pigs in a pig pen
Have more dignity than men from the upper class
But there's also the good man from the upper class
Who lives out of his work, in all honesty
But he wants to build a country
And not abandon it with a suitcase full of dollar bills
The good men from the upper class is like a worker
He is the doctor that charges those with less money less
And is interested in his people
In human beings living like animals
Trying to hang you in the window of your car
In the traffic lights, in the traffic lights
In the traffic lights, in the traffic lights
The upper class stinks
The upper class wants to get rich
As long as there's an upper class
There won't be poetry
The upper class stinks
The upper class wants to get rich
As long as there's an upper class
There won't be poetry
The upper class stinks
The upper class wants to get rich
As long as there's an upper class
There won't be poetry
