To whom would you send these lyrics?

You should notice that there's no more stew
And say that you're not worried
You should fight for the market's leftovers
And say that you feel rewarded

You should always put on an air of happiness
And say everything has improved
You should pray for the boss's well-being
And forget that you're unemployed

You deserve it, You deserve it
Everything's fine, everything's cool
Beer, samba, and tomorrow, Joe,
If they put an end to your Carnival

You should learn to bow your head
And always say thank you very much
Those are words they still let you say
For being such a well-disciplined man

You must act only for the good of the nation
Doing whatever you're ordered to do
To earn a new car at Judgment Day
And a diploma for good behavior

You deserve it, You deserve it
Everything's fine, everything's cool
Beer, samba, and tomorrow, Joe,
If they put an end to your Carnival
