Forma de manipular
Burocracia
Feita pra te fuder

The lyrics of Gritando HC's song "Não Existem Leis" (There Are No Laws) deal with the corrupt justice system and the futile efforts of seeking justice through legal channels. The song is a criticism of the legal system, and the unfairness and the bureaucracy that it promotes. The lyrics suggest that lawyers cannot help, and the legal system is geared towards manipulating people. The chorus "Não existem leis, leis, leis" (There are no laws, laws, laws) is a cynical and ironic statement on the current judicial system that is supposed to guarantee the rule of law.
The first verse talks about the inability of lawyers to help, and the second verse brings up the issue of the value of freedom and the fact that it cannot be measured in the face of a flawed system. The bridge talks about the lack of common sense and how it has no place within this legal framework. The final line of the song "Todos morrem pelo código civil" (Everyone dies by the civil code) implies how the system is self-defeating and ultimately leads to oppression and a lack of justice.
The message of the song is powerful and thought-provoking. The lyrics highlight the fact that justice is not always served, and that sometimes the legal system can be complicit in oppression. There is a sense of hopelessness and despair that comes through in the lyrics, reflecting the frustration that people can feel when seeking justice through the legal system.
