The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead

Peter Pumpkinhead veio para a cidadePeter Pumpkinhead came to town
Espalhando sabedoria e dinheiro à sua voltaSpreading wisdom and cash around
Alimentou o faminto e abrigou o pobreFed the starving and housed the poor
Mostrou ao Vaticano para que o ouro serveShowed the Vatican what gold's for

Mas ele fez inimigos demaisBut he made too many enemies
Entre aqueles que nos manteriam de joelhosOf the people who would keep us on our knees
Vivas para Peter PumpkinHooray for Peter Pumpkin
Quem rezará por Peter Pumpkinhead?Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?

Peter Pumpkinhead expôs à vergonhaPeter Pumpkinhead brought to shame
Governos que difamariam seu nomeGovernments who would slur his name
Luxúrias e escândalos sexuais falharam completamenteLusts and sex scandals failed outright
Peter apenas disse: Qualquer tipo de amor está certoPeter merely said: Any kind of love is all right

Mas ele fez inimigos demaisBut he made too many enemies
Entre aqueles que nos manteriam de joelhosOf the people who would keep us on our knees

Peter Pumpkinhead era muito bomPeter Pumpkinhead was too good
Mandaram pregá-lo em um pedaço de madeiraHad him nailed to a chunk of wood
Ele morreu sorrindo ao vivo na TVHe died grinning on live TV
Pendurado ali, ele se parecia demais com você e terrivelmente comigoHanging there he looked a lot like you, and an awful lot like me

Mas ele fez inimigos demaisBut he made too many enemies
Entre aqueles que nos manteriam de joelhosOf the people who would keep us on our knees
