Sergio Mendes, Brasil ’66 - Righteous Life lyrics
[Sergio Mendes, Brasil ’66 - Righteous Life lyrics]
Played cards with some of your guards
Kicked along the stone at sunset
Watched the ways you smile and nod
You smile and nod
It's a righteous life we're leading, friends
Heavy dues, pay the fee
But no one else notices notices destiny
Except the free except the free
You can tell it in a smile sometimes
Arrogant, haughty, and cool
Smiling at some stranger
Like a tarot deck card fool
Stories that they're weaving now
Are part-fiction, sometimes ruse
You can tell where the real part ends
And it's time to ask for truth
To ask for truth
Except the free except the free
