Long Long Gone

Rio de Janeiro is one hell of a sight The hills start to sparkle as the day turns to night And high up in the heavens Jesus keeps a watchful eye For all the good it does him No one cares I wonder why Copacabana where the rich people play Everything's for sale if you've money to pay But high in the favelas Poor folk try to make ends meet For all the good it does them History's got them already beat Was there we took a taxi to the rough end of town Had to pay the driver more to take us around To a bar in a street where the buildings come tumbling down So we're living it up in a bomb site city Watching all the girls looking oh so pretty Yeah, and we're feeling alright So we'll all get drunk tonight Sat with a cocktail at a table outside Laughing and joking as the people arrived But somewhere in the wreckage Something opened up its eyes Fifty teenagers looking for someone rich to fry They lined up on the street across from where we were sat Eyes glaring, arms folded primed to attack Liz said let's leg it Run for our lives I said you're in your high heels Let's stay and prepare to die Was then a bald guy headed over the street Laughing and joking said it's nice to meet To the teenage zombies who got bored And went elsewhere to eat So we're living it up in a bomb site city Watching all the girls looking oh so pretty Yeah, and we're still alive So let's all get drunk tonight Well the speakers blew up before the band could play But the people kept on partying any way It didn't seem to matter As the sun rose on another day So we're living it up in a bomb site city Watching all the girls looking oh so pretty Yeah, we were so alive So we all got drunk that night Yeah we all got drunk alright Yeah we'll all get drunk tonight
