Always Together
by: Bêca ArrudaTudo começou quando eu nasci
Foi no centro de São Paulo, não foi no Morumbi
Cercado de carros por todos os lados
De executivos e desempregados
Mulheres bonitas, mulheres sem graça
Eu já nasci respirando fumaça
E fui pra casa aprender a primeira lição
Que para conseguir alguma coisa por aqui
É preciso ter dinheiro e saber se vestir
Ter um bom vocabulário e sempre seguir
O poder judiciário e as leis desse país
É por isso que eu canto, por mim e por vocês
Cantamos todos juntos de uma só vez...
Always together, living together, living on my own
E nós nos informamos rádio, tv, jornal
Internet, revistas e achamos legal
Viver para sempre nesse mundo artificial
Feito de palavras que eu não escrevi
Feito de imagens que são apenas bits
Gastando o tempo da minha vida com uma pura ilusão
E cada vez mais eu começo a enxergar
O destino de nós, Homens, e onde vamos parar
Escravos de máquinas e frios de coração
Sem nossos ancestrais para nos dar as mãos
Always together, living together, living on my own
E quem quiser, que venha comigo, vamos mudar o mundo
E ficar todos unidos, num objetivo comum e diferente desse aqui
Onde o amor e paz possam sempre existir
E a felicidade possa surgir com igualdade para todos nós
Que seja assim até o fim
Always together, living together, livin own my own
