Lyrics

Com ê
Seu jei de tê
Graça no balan
Miná meu tem
Crian
Passa na lembran
Conté
Que o no
me dé
era diferen
seu nom era Embolá
no falar da gen
«Aí chegou o gringo com
o sequencer para prender
o músico brasileiro na camisa-de-força do metronímico 4/4 rock-pop-box.
«(David Byrne, em carta)
Xanduzinha, que vergonha
Espezinharam-na-fulô
E chegou um chamego chamado pop
Ah, puta que pariu,
Bate funk bate folk
Ah, puta que pariu
Bate estaca, bate rock
Ah, puta que pariu,
Gonzaga filho adotado
Yê Olodum
Renasceu mais avexado
Yê Olodum "

Pass on the reminder

in the talk of gen
"Here came the gringo with
the sequencer to hold
the Brazilian musician in the straitjacket of the metronymic 4/4 rock-pop-box.
"(David Byrne, in letter)
Xanduzinha, what a shame
They trampled-na-soot
And came a flame called pop
Ah, bitch who gave birth,
Beat funk beat folk

Beat the stake, beat the rock
Ah, bitch who gave birth,

Reborn more avexed
