Oh, Brother Songtext
von MakeWar

All my friends are going places
And I′m just burning all my bridges
They seem to have it all worked out
And I'm just trying to keep it loud
This is where the story goes
This is how I lost my voice

When I was fifteen I didn′t care about anyone
High school was just another distraction
With no highs but lows
And fucking ups
But that's when I found it and it sounded like feelings
I didn't get the words but I knew they had meaning
I was lost and found
The sound that made me feel alive

Welcome to the world of punks
Freaks and geeks and silly drunks
Welcome to starting a band
Skipping school when surf gets high


By twenty-two I forgot what I was doing
Just getting lost inside my father′s wishes
Of dreading music and adventure
For a desk with limitations

Welcome to your nine to five
If you′re calling sick you'd better be dying
Welcome to stability
The king of boredom and routine

Do you remember when we were truly happy?
Three simple chords and everyone is dancing
I′m looking forward to that time again
And I'll say "Hey

Stop wasting time, you got this"
I want you to follow
What makes you feel different
I want you to struggle
Bet your discs get blisters
I want you to dream big
Bigger than I ever did
I want you to fight for it (against the odds)
I want you to fall in love again (against the rules)
I want you to lose your voice too

Screaming your heart out
