Brazil Lyrics

[00:55.25] I heard you sold the Amazon
[00:59.36] To show the country that you're from
[01:03.21] Is where the world should want to be
[01:06.98] For a fine something all people need
[01:13.17] I'm faithless now, though we win every time and I don't know how
[01:18.49] 'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me
[01:22.61] But the people are dying to, to get on TV
[01:27.60] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[01:31.32] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[01:35.49] He got eyes, but he can't see
[01:38.46] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[01:42.42] Oh, Lord
[01:44.93] What have I become?
[01:46.45] I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son
[01:50.30] I'm not what you think you see
[01:54.31] I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
[01:59.24] Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
[02:03.30] I've got a mission and my mission is real
[02:06.64] 'Cause you've had your chances, yeah, you've had enough
[02:10.22] I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love
[02:14.27] And it gets me down
[02:17.61] Oh, Lord, how it gets me down
[02:23.14] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[02:27.12] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[02:30.94] He got eyes, but he can't see
[02:33.91] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[02:38.04] Oh, Lord
[02:41.98] Oh, Lord
[02:44.12]
[02:54.50] I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
[02:57.88] 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game while out in Brazil
[03:01.88] 'Cause it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
[03:06.45] Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
[03:10.44] I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
[03:13.69] 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
[03:17.74] And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
[03:22.31] Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil? (Oh, yeah)
[03:26.59] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[03:29.85] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[03:34.52] He got eyes, but he can't see
[03:37.42] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[03:42.44] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[03:45.98] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[03:50.24] He got eyes, but he can't see
[03:53.38] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[04:00.34] (And that was my triple collateral on Free-for-All)
[04:02.54]
