History

Early days

Ratos de Porão, or simply RxDxPx, was formed in November of 1981, existing in the Brazilian (São Paulo city) punk rock scene (alongside bands such as Olho Seco, Cólera, Inocentes, Garotos Podres, and Lobotomia). Directly influenced by the UK 82 hardcore bands such as Discharge, G.B.H., Varukers and Swedish and Finnish bands such as Anti-Cimex and Kaaos, they started to write songs that criticized Brazilian society, a revolutionary concept at the time. Their sound is regarded as one of the rawest of their scene (because other bands such as Cólera and Garotos Podres were more 'punk rock' sounding than 'hardcore').

Vida Animal

by: Ratos De Porão

Se você quer morrer
Se mate na cozinha e chame sua mãe prá ver
Se você quer matar
Exploda um orfanato
e comece a chorar
Vida Animal
Vida Animal
Vida Animal
Se você quer sorrir
olhe pros mendigos
que não tem prá onde ir
Se você quer fuder
Estupre a vizinha
Até o sangue escorrer
Mas você
não vai se arrepender
de ter sido anormal
sua mente é psicótica
seu coração é muito mal
Mas você vai sofrer na camisa de força
você vai apodrecer
Então você só me diz
com toda a minha maldade eu ainda sou feliz
