Brazilian Philosophy

Filosofia Tupiniquim

A wage earnerAssalariado
Without a dime in his pocketSem um puto no bolso
He champions the free marketDefende o livre mercado
But lives off tax moneyMas vive do imposto
He protests against abortionProtesta contra o aborto
Saying children deserve protectionCriança merece proteção
Yet for the child he has with his ex-wifeMas pro filho que tem com a ex-mulher
He never gave a single centNunca deu um tostão

Church pastorsPastores da igreja
Instead of prayerAo invés de oração
Use their BiblesUsam suas bíblias
For corruptionPra corrupção

And mistreats his wifeE maltrata a mulher
