Brazil

By Declan McKenna I heard you sold the Amazon To show the country that you're from Is where the world should want to be For a fine something all people need I'm faithless now Though we win every time and I don't know how 'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me But the people are dying to get on TV

I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He's got eyes, but he can't see Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me

Desculpe, Neymar

By Edu Krieger I'm sorry, Neymar But this time I'm not supporting you guys I'm tired of seeing how our people Die little by little In the TV shows While FIFA only cares about its standards We are guided by robbers Who play dirty to win I'm sorry, Neymar This time I'm not supporting you guys

Parreira, I've seen That moment when the people got so happy when we won the World Cup for the fourth time But we won't be champions Spending more than 10 billion bucks To host a World Cup in this country We have built beautiful and large stadiums While the schools and the hospitals Are almost collapsing Parreira, I've seen A chasm between two same countries

RIGHT-WING COMMODIFICATION NOW I CONSIDER THE BRAZILIAN YELLOW JERSEY TO HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED AND APPROPRIATED BY THE RIGHT-WING, SO WE CANNOT USE IT,

“[THE JERSEY] WAS A MAGICAL THING, LIKE AN ENCHANTED OBJECT THAT GAVE ME HUGE EMOTION.”

“I ALWAYS THOUGHT OUR FLAG AND OUR COLOURS WERE SO BEAUTIFUL – BUT FOR ME THEY NOW SYMBOLISE INTOLERANCE, POLITICAL IGNORANCE, FASCISM EVEN,”
