lyrics

Paola he had never been away to Rio
For his family oh he knew he had to go

Cuz in the north it's only drought
Landlords will buy you out
Kids hug their moms
And leave the house
Join the crowd snaking south

Have you seen the cars
And the towers
Reaching up to the stars
They say if we all do our part
Then we'll get ours

Grandeza
Industria brasileira

The generals have planned it out
It's a miracle no doubt
But even while Jesus looks down
Paolo's in a shantytown

Favela
Grandeza

Brazil has got a destiny
So manifest for all to see
Bom dia auto industry
For our great super power
We'll take loans out by the hour
The real lingua franca's Portuguese

Grandeza
Industria Brasileira

Homem no ha trabalho
There is not work for Paolo
There is no corn to shuck
The World Bank's got us stuck

Grandeza
Industria brasileira
