Feel The Benefit

    [Part I, Reminisce and Speculation]

    You went out on the street without your shoes on
    You didn't listen what your momma said?
    She said you won't feel the benefit (won't feel the benefit)
    And if we all went out without our shoes on?
    Tell me, where would we be? (Where would we be?)

    If all the people in the world lost their reason
    What would we see? Where would we be?
    If all the entertainers in the world lost their music
    What would they play? What could they say
    To pacify the crowd? to justify themselves
    Won't feel the benefit

    You're like a cloud behind the sun
    Like the face behind the clown
    You're moving like the wrinkles in a frown
    And you can never look back

    A leaf that's borne upon the wind
    A cardboard suitcase in your hand
    The wanderer soon returns and finds the colour of the grass is just the same
    On the other side of the tracks, woah

    [Part II, A Latin Break]

    Oh, when you smile it's like a holiday
    Oh, pack your bags and we can get away
    We'll float on a Queen down to Rio
    There's no need to shave
    We'll be stinking like rum in a punch

    You can walk on the water
    You can dabble in the mumbo jumbo
    You can smoke a little ganja
    Float like a cloud over Rio, Rio

    You can ride with the Gauchos
    Swinging your bolas in a red bandana
    You can run with the devil
    Takin' your chances with señorita

    You can drink a lot of coffee in Brazil
    But the bill is gonna make you I'll

    [Part III, Feel the Benefit]

    So, you can go out on the street and take your chances
    But if you do, you better do it right
    Or you won't feel the benefit (won't feel the benefit)
    Spin the wheel and take your chances
    And your number might come up
    Though the odds may be in favor of the house

    If all the people in the world would say together
    We're all black and white, we're all day and night
    If all the people in the world could sing together
    How would it sound? What would we feel?
    We'd all feel the benefit
