A Rua da Parede como antonomásia

And a man is working steady, it’s good money he receives

But he’s thrown out of work for the wrong things he believes.

He didn’t have the thoughts most everybody shares.

I know that couldn’t happen here,

So it must have been another country --

Yes, it must have been another land.

That couldn’t happen in the u.s.a.

We’d never treat a man that way.

Another Country, Phil Ochs

As maiorias abandonaram as redomas,

e, cada vez mais expurgadas pelos papás bancos,

desencaixotam-se do lucro, da desmemória e da estupidez.

As ruas são casa dos injustiçados.

E onde se constroem casas, ruas emergem por dentro delas.
