I don't even know if I remember when it all started Star in the sheriff's chest, the bandit didn't forgive I ran away from school so I could go to the movies I embodied the young man, I was fascinated by the emblem Today I start very early, I get up ready for action The policeman sleeps alert, with cap and belt So I sit at the table, coffee with bread and biscuit But the bullets of my .38 are not made of sugar My car looks like a tank, my camouflaged monkey But I only arrest the beggar, so I pickpocket the fag My chest is made of steel and my squad is nocturnal I keep a lot of money in my nocturnal attic This city has cancer, and this cancer is a crime A tumor that grows and corrupts, ma'am, don't even get close There are days I feel ashamed of my corporation Of the eyes that shoot me in the middle of the crowd I threaten people, who I must protect They think I'm an enemy, they try to hide My walk scares and my look intimidates The price we all pay for a stray bullet I receive orders from madmen, madmen by law And even out of order, orders are orders, I know In the corner of Ipiranga, where São João crosses Everything moves and happens, except for my heart My father didn't have a face when my sister bled Then he kissed me on the forehead and said see you tomorrow Then he disappeared from the planet in the wings of a truck But I'll still find him, I'll give him a prison sentence I cried in my room when the TV arrived But they didn't tell the truth, and they didn't even show why My hands bathed in blood, my hands washed in horror They thought it was another movie, they called a sponsor That's why I always shoot, so I can ask later Although sometimes I forget what I was going to say I'm glad I got home to kiss my wife She tells me she's faithful to what she gave and came To what she gave and came But to what she gave and came
