Ira!
Ira! (Portuguese for Anger or Rage) is a Brazilian rock band that was founded in São Paulo in the early 1980s. They were strongly influenced by the Mod sound of The Who, the hard rock of Led Zeppelin and the punk rock of The Clash.
History
Early Years
Led by singer Nasi and guitarist Edgard Scandurra, with Ricardo Gaspa on bass and André Jung on drums, Ira! was at the height of their success in the mid-to-late 1980s. Songs like "Núcleo Base", "Flores em Você" and "Envelheço na Cidade" were huge hits when first released and still enjoy considerable airplay in radio stations throughout Brazil. The band had a decline in productivity and popularity during the 1990s, but regained popularity after playing before an audience of over 250,000 at the third edition of the Rock in Rio festival in 2001 and doing an acoustic special for MTV Brasil in 2004.
2007: Internal Conflicts and Split
In September 2007, just before the band were due to have a break, Nasi departed from the band after a conflict with Airton Valadão Rodolfo, who was the band manager and also Nasi's brother.

The Pessimist
by: Stone SourHalf alive and stock reigning free
A hideous God of a man
You got what you want, what more do you need?
If I have to make my stand I will make you pay
I can show you the way, just stay out of my way
I will not become another pessimist
I will not become another reason to hide
Skin is a game, war is a prize of the flesh
I know what I want, but what do I need?
If I have to take this chance
I will take it today
I will not become another pessimist
I will not become another part of this
I know why, the consequence is by design
And I know why, we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why, everything wrong just feels so right
And I know why, the way I live will never let me die
(Solo: Josh)
What do I have to do to make you see?
Your black of life goes grey
I don't know what I want, I don't know what I need
I have to save you too, that's the end of me
I will not become another pessimist
I will not become another part of this
I know why, the consequence is by design
And I know why, we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why, everything wrong just feels so right
And I know why, the way I live will never let me die
Will never let me die
