Brazil Lyrics

[00:55.22] I heard you sold the Amazon
[00:59.21] To show the country that you're from
[01:03.12] Is where the world should want to be
[01:06.89] 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
[01:18.45] 'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me
[01:22.64] But the people are dying to, to get on TV
[01:27.61] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[01:31.25] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[01:35.40] He got eyes, but he can't see
[01:38.48] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[01:42.46] Oh, Lord
[01:44.88] What have I become?
[01:46.44] I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son
[01:50.38] I'm not what you think you see
[01:54.32] I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
[01:59.25] Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
[02:03.36] I've got a mission and my mission is real
[02:06.31] 'Cause you've had your chances, yeah, you've had enough
[02:10.25] I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love
[02:14.25] And it gets me down
[02:17.63] Oh, Lord, how it gets me down
[02:23.18] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[02:26.65] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[02:30.99] He got eyes, but he can't see
[02:33.92] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[02:38.04] Oh, Lord
[02:41.98] Oh, Lord
[02:44.12]
[02:54.55] I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
[02:57.83] 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game while out in Brazil
[03:01.83] 'Cause it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
[03:06.48] Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
[03:10.45] I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
[03:13.65] 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
[03:17.77] And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
[03:22.32] Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil? (Oh, yeah)
[03:26.51] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[03:29.81] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[03:34.54] He got eyes, but he can't see
[03:37.46] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[03:42.42] I heard he lives down a river somewhere
[03:45.92] With six cars and a grizzly bear
[03:50.23] He got eyes, but he can't see
[03:53.31] Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
[04:00.37] (And that was my triple collateral on Free-for-All)
[04:02.52]
