Jesus Of Rio by Violent Femmes


Christ the redeemer towering high over Rio

Rio de Janeiro Rio

 

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
