Lyrics Sérgio Mendes

Sérgio Mendes

What Is This?

Y'know those days when you don't feel good

And everything looks so sad

When you get up from your bed

It's in your left foot not knowing

What to do with your life

So you turn on the radio looking for music

But you can only hear waste, waste

Only waste

Then you return to bed

And decide to pay a visit to the places

You've never seen before

And so you walk, you walk

So you walk and walk and walk and walk

When you look around you in the place

You've never seen before, before, before, before

Hearing the sound, sound, sound

Who makes you think you are in heaven?

And so you ask, ask, ask

(I answer, brothers)

And so you ask, ask me

What does it mean?

Don't you know this is like a flame my brother?

Don't you know this is the music of the hour?
