Jesus Of Rio |
| 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 |
