Lyrics:
Can I leave here to organize myself?
Posso sair daqui pra me organizar

Can I leave here to disorganize
Posso sair daqui pra desorganizar

Can I leave here to organize myself?
Posso sair daqui pra me organizar

Can I leave here to disorganize
Posso sair daqui pra desorganizar
From mud to chaos, from chaos to mud
Da lama ao caos, do caos à lama

A robbed man is never wrong
Um homem roubado nunca se engana

From mud to chaos, from chaos to mud
Da lama ao caos, do caos à lama

A robbed man is never wrong
Um homem roubado nunca se engana
The sun burned, burned, the river mud
O sol queimou, queimou, a lama do rio

I saw the xié walking slowly
Eu vi o xié andando devagar

I saw an aratú back and forth
Vi um aratú pra lá e pra cá

I saw a crab walking south
Vi um caranguejo andando pro sul

It came out of the mangrove and became a gabirú
Saiu do mangue e virou gabirú
Oh Joshua, I've never seen such disgrace
Ô Josué, nunca vi tamanha desgraça

The more misery there is, the more vultures threaten
Quanto mais miséria tem, mais urubu ameaça
I took a basket, went to the market to steal tomatoes and onions
Peguei um balaio, fui na feira roubar tomate e cebola

An old woman was passing by and took my carrot
Ia passando uma velha e pegou a minha cenoura

Hey my dear, leave the carrot here
Aê minha véia, deixa a cenoura aqui

With an empty stomach I can't sleep
Com a barriga vazia não consigo dormir

And with my stomach fuller, I started thinking
E com o bucho mais cheio, comecei a pensar
That if I organize myself I can disorganize
Que eu me organizando posso desorganizar

That by disorganizing I can organize myself
Que eu desorganizando posso me organizar

That if I organize myself I can disorganize
Que eu me organizando posso desorganizar
From mud to chaos, from chaos to mud
Da lama ao caos, do caos à lama

A robbed man is never wrong
Um homem roubado nunca se engana

From mud to chaos, from chaos to mud
Da lama ao caos, do caos à lama

A robbed man is never wrong
Um homem roubado nunca se engana
The sun burned, burned, the river mud
O sol queimou, queimou, a lama do rio

I saw the xié walking slowly
Eu vi o xié andando devagar

I saw an aratú back and forth
Vi um aratú pra lá e pra cá

I saw a crab walking south
Vi um caranguejo andando pro sul

It came out of the mangrove and became a gabirú
Saiu do mangue e virou gabirú
Oh Joshua, I've never seen such disgrace
Ô Josué, nunca vi tamanha desgraça

The more misery there is, the more vultures threaten
Quanto mais miséria tem, mais urubu ameaça
I took a basket, went to the market to steal tomatoes and onions
Peguei um balaio, fui na feira roubar tomate e cebola

An old woman was passing by and took my carrot
Ia passando uma velha e pegou a minha cenoura

Hey my dear, leave the carrot here
Aê minha véia, deixa a cenoura aqui
