Declan Mckenna Lyrics
I heard you sold the Amazon
To show the country that you're from
Is where the world should want to be
For a fine something all people need
I'm faithless now though we win
Every time and I don't know how
'Cause I haven't bought you
And I haven't sold me
But the people are dying to, to get on TV
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me
Oh Lord, what have I become?
I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son
I'm not what you think you see
I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
I've got a mission and my mission is real
Because you've had your chances, yeah, you've had enough
I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love
And it gets me down
Oh, Lord, how it gets me down
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
I wanna play the beautiful game while in Brazil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
'Cause it's all you've ever wanted and it's all that you want still
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
And it's all you've ever wanted and it's all that you want still
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
(Oh yeah)
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
With six cars and a grizzly bear
He got eyes, but he can't see
Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me
(And that was my triple collateral on Free for All)

Eu ouvi que você vendeu a Amazônia
I heard you sold the Amazon
Para mostrar o país do qual você é
To show the country that you're from
É onde o mundo deveria querer estar
Is where the world should want to be
Por algo bom todas as pessoas precisam
For fine something all people need
Estou sem fé agora, embora ganhemos
I'm faithless now though we win
Toda vez e eu não sei como
Every time and I don't know how
Porque eu não te comprei
'Cause I haven't bought you
E eu não me vendi
And I haven't sold me
Mas as pessoas estão morrendo de vontade de entrar na TV
But the people are dying to, to get on TV
Eu ouvi dizer que ele mora em um rio em algum lugar
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
Com seis carros e um urso pardo
With six cars and a grizzly bear
Ele tem olhos, mas ele não pode ver
He's got eyes, but he can't see
Bem, ele fala como um anjo mas parece comigo
Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me
Oh Senhor, o que eu me tornei?
Oh Lord, what have I become?
Eu sou o rosto de Deus, sou filho dos meus pais
I'm the face of God, I'm my fathers' son
Eu não sou o que você acha que vê
I'm not, what you think you see
Eu sei que você não pode comer couro, mas você não pode me impedir
I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
Por que você mentiria, por que você mentiria sobre como se sente?
Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
Eu tenho uma missão e minha missão é real
I've got a mission and my mission is real
Porque você teve suas chances, você já teve o suficiente
Because you've had your chances, yeh you've had enough
Eu vou queimar sua casa para espalhar a paz e o amor
I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love
E isso me deixa pra baixo
And it gets me down
Oh Senhor, como isso me deixa para baixo
Oh Lord how it gets me down
Eu ouvi dizer que ele mora em um rio em algum lugar
I heard he lives down a river somewhere
Com seis carros e um urso pardo
With six cars and a grizzly bear
Ele tem olhos, mas ele não pode ver
He's got eyes, but he can't see
Bem, ele fala como um anjo mas parece comigo
Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me
Oh senhor
Oh Lord
Oh senhor
Oh Lord
Eu quero jogar o belo jogo enquanto estou no Brasil
I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
Porque todo mundo joga o belo jogo no Brasil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game while out in Brazil
Porque é tudo que você sempre quis, e é tudo que você quer ainda
'Cause it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
Você não quer jogar o belo jogo no Brasil?
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil?
Eu quero jogar o belo jogo enquanto estou no Brasil
I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
Porque todo mundo joga o lindo jogo no Brasil
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out in Brazil
E é tudo que você sempre quis, e é tudo que você quer ainda
And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still
Você não quer jogar o belo jogo no Brasil?
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil
Oh sim

QUEM NÃO ENTENDEU-
ele fez essa msc pq naquele tempo o povo construiu o estadio e queimou muiiiiita parte da Floresta Amazônica
as pessoas ficaram bravas com isso, pq só ajudou o governo a ganhar dinheiro pra ver um jogo de futebol
aí isso tudo piorou com a Floresta Amazonica, mas o governo tá cagando pra isso pq eles tem "6 carros e um urso pardo " (ricos).
tem uma parte que ele diz "ele fala como um anjo mas parece cmg" mostra como pessoas foram manipuladas para fazerem o estádio de futebol
e apesar de toda a conquista (apenas o estádio) muitas pessoas morreram construindo isso.
isso é o que eu sei, que qualquer um consegue descobrir todo o resto da história por traz da letra, espero ter ajudado.

As a Brazilian, i must say that this video is an accurate representation of the daily life of an average Brazilian citizen. Ans that includes having breakfast wearing huge animal masks and playing guitar in the mountains until you fall into space.

This kid made a song with a strong political and social meaning, put in it a brilliant riff, sang it in a strangely charming and scratchy way. Was being born that phenomenon called Declan McKenna.

@Sharkeyes There's all on the web. Find out

@ZenoZeno is this true ?

@Muskaan Walia The lyrics are quite cryptic, however "Brazil” is a protest song criticizing FIFA, the international governing body of association football, and their decision of awarding the 2014 FIFA World Cup to Brazil, without addressing the extensive and deep poverty affecting Brazilians and “doing anything for the communities.”
Although the song was just intended to be a dig at corruption, it took a whole new life with the FIFA corruption scandal that emerged in 2015 and has been deeply associated with the downfall from office of Sepp" Blatter, FIFA’s president from 1998 to 2015." (Genius)
