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
