Full lyrics

Não sou profeta

Nem tão pouco visionário

Mas o diário

Desse mundo tá na cara

Um viajante

Na boléia do destino

Sou mais um fio

Da tesoura e da navalha


Levando a vida

Tiro versos da cartola

Chora viola

Nesse mundo sem amor

Desigualdade

Rima com hipocrisia

Não tem verso nem poesia

Que console um cantador

A natureza na fumaça se mistura

Morre a criatura

E o planeta sente a dor


O desespero

No olhar de uma criança

A humanidade

Fecha os olhos pra não ver

Televisão de fantasia e violência

Aumenta o crime

Cresce a fome e o poder


Boi com sede bebe lama

Barriga seca não dá sono

Eu não sou dono do mundo

Mas tenho culpa, porque sou

Filho do dono

Translation

I am not a prophet

Nor a visionary

But the diary

Of this world is evident

A traveler

In destiny's carriage

I am just another thread

Of the scissors and the razor


Living life

I pull verses from a hat

Viola, cry

In this world without love

Inequality

Rhymes with hypocrisy

There is no verse nor poetry

That can console a singer

Nature mixes with smoke

The creature dies

And the planet feels the pain


The despair

In a child's gaze

Humanity

Closes its eyes not to see

Television of fantasy and violence

Increases crime

Hunger and power grow


A thirsty ox drinks mud

An empty belly doesn't bring sleep

I am not the owner of the world

But I am guilty, because I am

The owner's son
