Tim Maia – Brother, Father, Sister, Mother (Official Audio)

Details

Description

Tim was the man. As a teenager he dreamed of making it big in the United States and immigrated to America dead set on never returning home again. However, just a few years later, he got kicked out of the country for smoking pot in a stolen car. After a few years back in Brazil he revolutionized Brazilian popular music and became one of the greatest soul artists of his lifetime. He married five times (or did he?), served multiple prison sentences (that's for sure), and at the height of his fame joined that UFO-obsessed religious cult -- how about that?

LYRICS:

Brother, every time I call you home you are dancing
Sister, please don’t put your children on initiation
‘Cause there is no heaven
There is no God
‘Cause there is no devil
There is no hell

Mother, every time I call you home you are in church
Father, every time I call you home you are saying
True devotion is the way
Wake up Africa
Now today

Sister, every time I call you home you are shopping
Father, every time I call you home you are drinking
Too many brothers in the mood
And some are dancing rock and roll

Everybody is the same, everybody is the same
Everybody is the same, everybody is the same
Everybody has a heart and feels the pain
Everybody is the same
Chinese, Japanese, Africans, Americans, Canadian, Russians
Spanish people, Italian people, Hungarians
Everybody is the same
Germans, everybody is the same
You are not better than me
And I am not better than you
Everybody is the same
Everybody is the same
