Everybody knows that our cities
Everybody knows that our cities
Were built to be destroyed
Were built to be destroyed
You get annoyed, you buy a flat
You get annoyed, you buy a flat
You hide behind the mat
You hide behind the mat
But i know she was born
But i know she was born
To do everything wrong with all of that
To do everything wrong with all of that
Maria bethânia, please send me a letter
Maria bethânia, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
I wish to know things are getting better
Better, better, beta, beta, bethânia
Better, better, beta, beta, bethany
Please send me a letter
Please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
I wish to know things are getting better
She has given her soul to the devil
She has given her soul to the devil
But the devil gave his soul to god
But the devil gave his soul to god
Before the flood, after the blood
Before the flood, after the blood
Before you can see
Before you can see
She has given her soul to the devil
She has given her soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea
And bought a flat by the sea
Maria bethânia, please send me a letter
Maria bethânia, please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
I wish to know things are getting better
Better, better, beta, beta, bethânia
Better, better, beta, beta, bethany
Please send me a letter
Please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
I wish to know things are getting better
Everybody knows that it's so hard
Everybody knows that it's so hard
To dig and get to the root
To dig and get to the root
You eat the fruit, you go ahead
You eat the fruit, you go ahead
You wake up on your bed
You wake up on your bed
But i love her face
But i love her face
'cause it has nothing to do with all i said
'cause it has nothing to do with all i said
