Barraco
Evasão Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pego a fila: rapaz me diz o que fazer
Pega a senha senão não posso te atender
Dá um jeito nisso, não agüento mais essa condição
Nem tenho dinheiro,
Pra vir aqui dependo de pegar condução

No meu barraco nunca faltou nada
Tô sem saber o que fazer
Minha mulher já tá desesperada
Meu moleque não tem o que comer

Sempre paguei inss
Até carregando massa de concreto eu já trabalhei
O governo sempre me esquece
Não estou pedindo esmola,
Só quero o que é meu por lei
Eu tenho 35, tenho saúde e experiência na carteira
Me esforcei sempre o quanto pude
E agora querem encerrar minha carreira

Tô longe da aposentadoria
Meu fundo de garantia
Não deu nem pras minhas contas
Mas vou me virar eu sou um pai de família
Preciso segurar as pontas
Seguro desemprego tira o meu sossego
Quando acabar tô pego - eu tô pego

Sempre fui honesto, paguei tudo em dia
Tenho conta no boteco mas de resto tudo em ordem
Graças a deus





As coisas vão melhorar, a fé não pode faltar
Se deus quiser eu volto logo a trabalhar
