lyrics

My father told me about the sea
About all the people who sailed away
A time before all the big ships stopped
And left our world here in decay

My mother told me not to cry
We're the only ones still alive
The burning sun gives us all we need
The human race will survive

Now I'm living
In the ruins of Rio
Take all your guns and
Grab all your ammo

I DJ at the night club on the block
Spin all night just to pay my bills
Protection money for the local boys
They drain you till they have their fill

I got a plan to make it big
But I got to keep myself alive
Last superstar in the universe
Music is all that survives

But I can't get far
From the ruins of Rio
Take all your guns and
Grab all you ammo
