Lyrics

Let's celebrate human stupidity
To stupidity of all the nations
O my country and its corja of assassins
Covardes, raiders and thieves
Let's celebrate stupidity do povo
Our police and television
Let's celebrate our government
In our State, that não é nação
Celebrate youth sem escola
As crianças mortas
Celebrate our disunity
Let's celebrate Eros e Thanatos
Persephone e Hades
Let's celebrate our sadness

Let's celebrate nossa vaidade.
Let's eat like idiots
Every February and holiday
All you dead on the road
You die for lack of hospitais
Let's celebrate nossa justiça
Profit and defamation
Let's celebrate your preconceptions
Or vote two illiterates
Eat water I can
And all the imposts
Burns, lies and sequestros
Nosso castelo of marked cards
Or work hard
Our little universe
All hypocrisy and all affectation
All roubo and all indifferent
Let's celebrate epidemics:
É a festa da twisted campeã.
Let's celebrate fome
I don't want to burn out
I don't want to love
Let's feed or what's wrong
Let's bruise um heart
Let's celebrate nossa bandeira
Nosso past of glorious absurdities
Tudo or what is free and ugly
I think it's normal
Let's sing together or Hino Nacional
(A tear is true)
Let's celebrate nossa saudade
And commemorate nossa solidão.
Let's celebrate inveja
Intolerance and incomprehension
Let's celebrate with violence
And create our people
That you work honestly to life inteira
And now I have no more direct to nothing
Let's celebrate aberração
Of all our lack of good sense
Nosso rest for education
Let's celebrate or horror
From tudo isso - com festa, velório e caixão
He's all dead and buried now
Ha, we can also celebrate
To the stupidity of quem cantou esta song.
Come, my heart is ready
When hope is scattered
It really sets me free
Chega de maldade e ilusão.
Come, or love, always open door
E vem checking spring -
Our future recomeça:
Come on, what or what, see me perfeição

Historic context

Or Brazil two years ninety began to recover from the long period lived under a military age (1964-1985). The decade began with the election of President Fernando Collor de Mello, who was in charge of the country between March 15, 1990 and December 29, 1992.

When Perfection Foi launched, I was not able to do so until President Itamar Franco (Vice de Collor). The successor of Collor remained in office between December 29, 1992 and January 1, 1995.

A letter composed by the Legião Urbana band translated this moment of general dissatisfaction, com cidadãos claiming over all conditions of life melhores and or fight against corruption.

Not free of memories of the guitarist of the group, Dado Villa-Lobos narrates that Perfection It was written by Renato Russo as a kind of political manifesto about the 1990s:

"The idea was that or start ficasse between or rock and or rap, and that or Renato more recite the verses that he himself sang"
