Brother

You should be happy with what you got…
You should be hard to be a brother…
You should be happy with what we give you…

Hand over my face. I am related to my enemy.
My house on fire,
And my big brother come put the blame on me.

He’s a-pushin’…I’m being pushed from above.
Oh, and a brother, back to back to back,
Better back off of him.

You should not questioh at all his authority…

Use a flag as a bandage.
Stick ‘em up, show us your pocket hypocrisy.
In the closet, my pleasures
‘Cause my big brother don’t want to just let me be.

Oh, and I’m pushin’…oh if I could get above…
Oh, and a brother back to back back,
Keep your back off.
Oh, and I’m pushin’…I’m being pushed from above.
Oh, and a brother, back to back to back,
Better back off of him…

Face down…brother…
Face down… [3X]

In my mind there’s a clearing.
Black clouds flow through grey still skies.
And the birds don’t even whisper.
I’m flying out…I’m flying…

Back to back back, better back off…
Back to back to back, a better, better, better…
Back to back to back, back to back back…brother…
Face down…brother…
Face down…
Face down…brother…
Face down…almost…fired…
Face down…I got a gun…
Face down…
I got a gun…I got a gun…
Face down…I got a gun…
Face down…

Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV…
Watch the nightly news and drink a beer…
Like I could even change the world, yeah right…
