Pega Ladrão!

Gabriel O Pensador

Catch the Thief!

Your honor, now explain, but don’t complicate
Your honor, I already explained, I didn’t see that list
I assert with absolute certainty and honesty
That I’ve never seen that list
I don’t know about that list, don’t want to know, and I’m pissed at those who do
Whoever says I saw that list is a liar
And they’ll have to prove it, and if they do, they’ll have to deal with me

Catch the thief in the government
Catch the thief in Congress
Catch the thief in the Senate
Catch them in the House of Representatives
Catch the thief on the podium
Catch the thief in court
It’s because of these guys
That there are people starving
That there are people killing
And so on

Catch, catch
Catch, catch the thief
Catch, catch
Catch, catch the thief
Catch, catch
Catch, catch the thief
Misery only exists because of corruption
Catch, catch
Catch, catch the thief
Catch, catch
Catch, catch the thief
Catch, catch
Catch, catch the thief
Get them out of power, throw them in jail

And you, who are just an ordinary person
Living a decent life
Has anyone ever asked you for a dollar?
Has anyone ever robbed you at the light?
Do you think things are going badly?
Or are you satisfied?
Do you think this is all normal?
Do you think the country has no hope?
Here there are no earthquakes
Here there are no volcanoes
Here the weather is nice
Here there’s plenty of land
Here there are good people
Here there are honest folks
But in power, there are people who are no good

I was elected and I represent the Brazilian people
Trust me, I’ll take care of the money

Get this crook out of the executive branch
Get this crook out of the judiciary
Get this crook out of the legislature
Get them out of power, I’m tired of being a fool
Get this crook out of the municipal power
Get this crook out of the state government
Get this crook out of the federal government
Take their money and raise my salary

See that amazing mansion?
I bought it with money embezzled from the hospital, oh and my safe full of dollars?
That’s money that was supposed to build another school, you should see my farm, I bought it all with lunch money, and my kid? A million just for allowance
And all with the money of abandoned children, and my wife doesn’t drive me to bankruptcy
Because I cover that hole with the pension fund deficit, your honor, didn’t you see my plane?
I bought it with funds meant for building prisons, and overcrowding? That’s the people’s problem, don’t we have immunity? For us, it doesn’t hit, no

Misery only exists because of corruption
Unemployment keeps rising because of corruption
Violence only explodes because there’s so much misery and unemployment
Because there’s so much corruption

Everyone who knows me knows very well that I won’t tolerate
The poor getting rich and the rich getting poor

And you, who were born in this country
And who dreams and works hard to be happy
Do you pay attention to what the candidate says?
Or do you vote for anyone, you idiot?
And after the election, do you demand results?
Or do you just sit there with your arms crossed?
Do you remember who you voted for as a deputy?
And who you put in the Senate?

As you suspected, I really did see that list
I saw it, but didn’t read it, and I’ll say more, I swallowed it
So that no one else would read it either, and it was with the best of intentions
I broke the law, but with all honesty, your honor, did you swallow the list? Well, I put it inside my body
In a safe, dark place so that for all intents and purposes
That way, I reserve the right
Not to say anything more, but it’s all published in the records, but yesterday you said you didn’t see the list
Today you say you saw the list, and tomorrow, oh tomorrow no one remembers anymore
And the case of the list will go on the list of cases
The cases that were left behind
