* Victor Nogueira / Gemini
A frase escrita na parede remete.nos para a um hino pacifista lançado em 1969 pela Plastic Ono Band, concebido por John Lennon e Yoko Ono durante o famoso protesto Bed-In for Peace em Montreal. A letra enumera de forma acelerada diversos temas sociais, políticos, religiosos e culturais da época para defender que, acima de todas as discussões e ideologias, a prioridade deve ser dar uma chance à paz.
A mensagem central traduz-se no seu célebre refrão:
"All we are saying is give peace a chance"
(Tudo o que dizemos é dêem uma oportunidade à paz)
So this is Xmas And what have you done Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Xmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear
And so this is Xmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Xmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Xmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear
And so this is Xmas And what have we done Another year over A new one just begun And so happy Xmas We hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear War is over, if you want it War is over now

As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and class less and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me If you want to be a hero well just follow me
