CAETANO VELOSO

- Podres Poderes Lyrics

Enquanto os homens exercem seus podres poderes
Motos e fuscas avançam os sinais vermelhos
E perdem os verdes
Somos uns bossais
Queria querer gritar setessentas mil vezes
Como são lindos, como são lindos os burgueses
E os japoneses
Mas tudo é muito mais
Será que nunca faremos senão confirmar
A incompetência da América Católica
Que sempre precisará de ridículos tiranos?
Será será que será que será que
será?
Será que essa minha estúpida retórica
Terá que soar, terá que se ouvir por mais zil anos?
Enquanto os homens exercem seus podres poderes Índios e padres
e bichas, negros e mulheres
E adolescentes
Fazem o carnava
Queria querer cantar afinado com eles
Silenciar em respeito ao seu transe, num êxtase
Ser indecente, mas tudo é muito ma
Ou então cada paisano e cada capataz
Com sua burrice fará jorrar sangue demais
Nos pantanais, nas cidades, caatingas
E nos gerai.
Será que apenas os Hermetismos Pascoais
E os tons e os mil tons, seus sons e seus dons geniais
Nos salvam, nos salvaram dessas trevas
E nada mais?
Enquanto os homens exercem seus podres poderes
Morrer e matar de fome, de raiva e de sede
São tantas vezes gestos naturais
Eu quero aproximar o meu cantar vagabundo
Daqueles que velam pela alegria do mundo
Indo mais fundo
Tins e bens e tais.

It describes with dark imagery a society where sheer incompetence and despotism are the order of the day.

Podres poderes' lyrics express mainly commentary on and reflection on social issues, the singer's angst, anger, and empowerment.
