The Train

That's how it is
Without acting, it doesn't stand
Iê-iê

Reality is very sad
But it's in the dirty, underworld suburb that crime persists
Taking the train is risky
Workers have no choice, so they face that crowded train

Yeah, you don't know who is who, that's how it is
It could be a thief or not
It's okay if it's for me
If it's the police, be alert, Zé

Because there's a cover law for him to punch you if he wants
The smell is bad from end to end
But, even so, normally, what prevails is marijuana
And in the thousands, of all kinds

In the morning, in the neurosis
How can there be a beautiful day?
Doors open, even running
Always crowded to the ceiling

My brother, keep watching
Can't stand it, yes, that's how the train is
I've been there, I know, I've been there
Pay attention, that's the truth

Suburb to die (that's how it is) I'll tell you, it's easy

Suburb to die, I'll tell you (it's easy)
And now pay attention, you can believe (it's to remember, okay?)
No caution is enough, because (it's just a tip)
Suburb to die, I'll tell you (it's easy)

Check closely, it's good to know (it's to remember, okay?)
And now pay attention, you can believe (it's just a tip)
No caution is enough, because (it's easy)
Suburb to die (it's tough) I'll tell you

Every day, same people
Always walking, traveling, surfing, not fearing more
Several crazy people, hot movement
Several kids to sell

Come buy, it's here to sell
Who says he's a surfer, is
So, stand up, I believe, that's how it is
If you fall, it's over (it's done! Goodbye)

I remember a brother, annoying thing
Climbed, descended over the train, smiled
Came from Barra Funda two years ago, every day
On top of the train with the guys

Surfers, as they are popularly called
He got up and leaned on that wire
He got shocked, but so strong, he didn't even feel it, he went to heaven
With God, brother Biro, you know

Suburb to die (that's how it is) I'll tell you, it's easy

Suburb to die, I'll tell you (it's easy)
And now pay attention, you can believe (ha, it's to remember, okay?)
No caution is enough, because (it's just a tip)
Suburb to die, I'll tell you (it's easy)

Check closely, it's good to know (it's to remember, okay?)
And now pay attention, you can believe (it's just a tip)
No caution is enough, because
The train is like this, that's how it is

And I ask Oxalá, and then, will always guard us
Give us strength to fight, I know we'll need it
In the train, my friend, that's how it is, that's what it is
So, hundreds are sitting and thousands are standing

And at all stations
There, pay attention to the PF's
The train stops, people enter and exit
Yes, after that, the train is gone

But what is this? Weird
And, several times, I watched
Worker at the door, taking beatings
Crushed lunches, uniforms, is this the law?

See for yourselves, they're dogs, just want to humiliate every time
It happened last year, in Perus
A crazy guy was at peace, not owing
Yes, he walked on the line, like this

About 100 meters from that station
Yes, pay attention, repression, according to witnesses from there, I heard
He was blatantly murdered, but it wasn't disclosed
And no one is, isn't

No one saw the deaths on the Santos - Jundiaí Railroad
And no one cares, Osasco - Itapevi
From Brás to Mogi or Tamanduateí
(I know, I've been there) it's the end, really (I've been there) that's how it is

Suburb to die (that's how it is) I'll tell you, it's easy

Suburb to die, I'll tell you
And now pay attention, you can believe
No caution is enough, because
Suburb to die, I'll tell you (it's easy)

Check closely, it's good to know (it's to remember, okay?)
And now pay attention, you can believe (it's just a tip)
No caution is enough, because
The train is like this, that's how it is

And without acting, it doesn't stand
In the train, that's how it is
Without acting, it doesn't stand
