Jesus Of Rio - Violent Femmes



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 develpment

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 Copenhagen

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
