Name: No More Lies
Duration: P00H03M29S
Description: Hypocracy of politicians in electoral years is the subject of this song. For those unfamiliar with it, the image shows a voting machine, used in Brazil. Unlike in the US, Brazil has several political parties, but most of them are too small to elect a president. So, many just choose to team up with the left-wing Workers' Party (red) or right-wing Brazilian Social-Democrat Party (blue).

lyrics

[VERSE 1]
Pirates drop anchor by the bay
Killing people they pretend to save
Flatter the rich, prey on the poor
Buy the media and win the war

Join the party, there are ma-ny to choose
But in the end, it's all red or blue
Former protesters are sellng their souls
Wearing new colors and claiming our votes

[PRE-CHORUS]
This is the game we have to play, yeah
Will this shit ever change someday

[CHORUS]
They claim to bring salvation
While plundering the nation
We want no more li-es

They're trying to deceive us
But we won't let them seize us
We'll stand up and fight
Fight for our rights

[VERSE 2]
Justice is a pen to sign their checks
They sucks us dry, tax after tax
Playing with our hope, door to door
(I've)seen this shit four years before

Black suits are a cool disguise
Collecting taxes and paying bribes
Spreading diseases and selling the cure
They won't drag me down for sure

[PRE-CHORUS]
It makes no difference what we choose
Whoever wins, we always lose

[CHORUS]

[SOLO]

[CHORUS 2x]
