Manuel

He liked American music
He would go to the dance every weekend

Manuel
Went to heaven
Manuel
Went to heaven

He went to work tired
At 6 in the morning
He listened on his radio
Panties and bras
On the radio it was a funk
The train was crowded
He thought about his salary
He got discouraged

If I were American
My life wouldn't be like this

Manuel
Went to heaven
Manuel
Went to heaven

Day after day, he heard his grandma telling him
The world is fabulous, it's just the human being that isn't nice
On the radio it was a funk, the train was crowded
He thought about his salary, he got discouraged
If I were a politician, my life wouldn't be like this
No, no, no, no

Manuel
Went to heaven
Manuel
