Quando a Maré Encher
Nação Zumbi
When the Tide Comes In
I hit the streets to fight, looking for something to do
I hit the streets to sniff glue, find something to eat
I hit the streets to play ball, watch the cars race
Take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
When the tide comes in, when the tide comes in
I’m gonna take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
When the tide comes in, when the tide comes in
I’m gonna take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
It’s stones that hold up the board, and wood that supports the roof
Plastic bags, nails, cardboard
Tie up some rope, dig a hole
Shanty: Popular housing on the rise
Dog, cat, chicken, and critters on the ground
And the real population lives in normal harmony
Part of the daily grind: bathroom, bed, kitchen on the floor
Hope, faith in God, illusion
When the tide comes in, when the tide comes in
Take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
When the tide comes in, when the tide comes in
I’m gonna take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
I hit the streets to play, looking for something to do
I hit the streets to sniff glue, find something to eat
I hit the streets to play ball, watch the cars race
Take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
When the tide comes in, when the tide comes in
I’m gonna take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
When the tide comes in, when the tide comes in
I’m gonna take a bath in the canal when the tide comes in
When the tide comes in, when the tide comes in
