Letra
Keepin' People Out
When I was young I hated the union
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)
See ‘em on the street say what are you doin'?
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)
The NDP says they got my back but they all live in the city and drive a Cadillac
Now I’m old and safe and I’m part of the problem
Keepin' people out by keeping people in
Now I went down to the united nations
(keepin' people out by keeping people in)
They was tryin' to decide what to do with the Hatians
(keepin' people out by keeping people in)
Drop cherry blossoms from planes in the sky
An' we’ll starve ‘em all to death with apple pie
Then we’ll privatize the mail, hospital and jail
‘Cause we’re keepin' people out by keeping people in
Back when I was young on the schoolyard playin'
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)
I was in peter’s little gang when a bully came chasin'
(Keepin' people out by keeping people in)
The bully went down when peter stepped in
He looked me in the eyes and said, «you're lucky you’re in.»
Not a truer sentence ever been heard by my big ears
Keepin' people out by keeping people in
When I went to heaven I met saint peter
Said if I had your job you wouldn’t get in neither
I could run this place more better than you
I’d send’em all south in a big canoe
But when I got to heaven they wouldn’t take me neither
‘Cause they was keepin' people out by keeping people in
When I got to heaven they wouldn’t take me neither
‘Cause I was keepin' people out by keeping people in
Tradução da letra
Manter As Pessoas De Fora
Quando era jovem, odiava o sindicato.
(Keepin ' people out by keeping people in)
Viste-os na rua a dizer o que estás a fazer?
(Keepin ' people out by keeping people in)
O NDP diz que me protege, mas todos vivem na cidade e conduzem um Cadillac.
Agora estou velho e seguro e faço parte do problema.
Manter as pessoas de fora mantendo as pessoas dentro
Agora fui às Nações Unidas.
(keepin ' people out by keeping people in)
Estavam a tentar decidir o que fazer com os Hatians.
(keepin ' people out by keeping people in)
Largar flores de cerejeira de aviões no céu
E vamos matá-los à fome com tarte de maçã.
Depois privatizamos o correio, o hospital e a prisão.
Porque estamos a manter as pessoas de fora mantendo as pessoas dentro
Quando eu era jovem no recreio a brincar
(Keepin ' people out by keeping people in)
Eu estava no gangue do peter quando um rufia veio atrás de mim.
(Keepin ' people out by keeping people in)
O rufia caiu quando o peter interveio.
Ele olhou-me nos olhos e disse: "Tens sorte em estares dentro.»
Nunca ouvi uma frase mais verdadeira pelos meus grandes ouvidos.
Manter as pessoas de fora mantendo as pessoas dentro
Quando fui para o céu conheci São Pedro
Disse que se eu tivesse o teu emprego, tu também não entrarias.
Podia gerir este lugar melhor do que tu.
Mandava-os para sul numa grande Canoa.
Mas quando cheguei ao céu, também não me aceitavam.
Porque eles estavam a manter as pessoas de fora mantendo as pessoas dentro
Quando cheguei ao céu, também não me aceitavam.
Porque eu estava a manter as pessoas de fora mantendo as pessoas dentro
