Brazil Lyrics

[00:55.23] I heard you sold the Amazon
[00:59.13] To show the country that you're from
[01:03.08] Is where the world should want to be
[01:06.85] For a fine something all people need
[01:12.90] I'm faithless now
[01:14.64] Though we win every time and I don't know how
[01:18.59] 'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me
[01:22.47] But the people are dying to get on TV
[01:27.28] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[01:31.38] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[01:35.30] He's got eyes, but he can't see
[01:38.43] Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[01:42.47] Oh, Lord!
[01:44.66] What have I become?
[01:46.36] I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son
[01:50.21] I'm not what you think you see
[01:54.24] I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
[01:58.72] Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
[02:03.27] I've got a mission and my mission is real
[02:06.21] Because you've had your chances, yeah you've had enough
[02:10.16] I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love
[02:14.28] And it gets me down
[02:17.43] Oh, Lord, how it gets me down
[02:22.89] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[02:26.95] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[02:30.86] He's got eyes, but he can't see
[02:33.91] Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[02:38.08] Oh, Lord!
[02:41.06]
[02:54.67] I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
[02:57.99] 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
[03:01.81] And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
[03:06.00] Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
[03:10.12] I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
[03:13.79] 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
[03:17.66] And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
[03:21.92] Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
[03:26.33] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[03:30.45] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[03:34.40] He's got eyes, but he can't see
[03:37.41] Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[03:42.34] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[03:46.00] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[03:50.04] He's got eyes, but he can't see
[03:53.42] Well he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[03:59.11]
