Violent Femmes - Jesus Of Rio Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Christ the redeemer towering high over rio

Rio de janeiro, rio

Where they held a summit to save the world

And to mark the time when development

As traditionally understood-had failed

And the affluent north raping the south

Investment from the north means

Economic bondage for the south

Under the burden of debt payments

I was with a whore in copenhagan

Drinking eight hundred dollars worth of

Champagne in kroner

She came from rio

We were trying to save the world

We did not get what we wanted

She wanted money--

She did not get what she wanted

I missed my wife--

I did not get what I wanted

Death sat on my lap

Death sits on all our laps

While christ the redeemer

Towers high over rio

Rio de janeiro. rio

Gordon gano: vocal, organo

Brian ritchie: upright bass

Guy hoffman: drums, pu-ili

Recorded and mixed by david vartanian at dvs perversion room, milwuakee, wi
