A military regime in democratic disguise
That lies in all impunity
Takes apart what it took people years to build
Public institutions that promised a decent life
Self-determination should be a fact
Not essentially a right
There are the lobbies, insurance companies
Who want to change the whole country
Into a vast commercial counter for the pure consumer
The promise to give the generals a better place
Self-determination should be a fact
In the face of corruption
That lies in all impunity
Takes apart what it took people years to build
Public institutions that promised a decent life
Self-determination should be a fact
Not essentially a right
There are the lobbies, insurance companies
Who want to change the whole country
Into a vast commercial counter for the pure consumer
The promise to give the generals a better place
Self-determination should be a fact
In the face of corruption
