Sergio Mendes, Brasil ’66 - Righteous Life lyrics
[Sergio Mendes, Brasil ’66 - Righteous Life lyrics]
I rode on your highways
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
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
