Brother Down Songtext
von Sam Roberts

One life to live but we′re doin' it wrong
You see, got my brother down ′cause it's nothing to me
Yeah, it's nothing to me
Everyone′s sayin′ that it's wrong to cheat
But there′s no other way to get your life on easy street
Get your life on easy street

Someone else tellin' you what you′re livin' for
Been knockin′ you down, now you're lookin' for more
Then the only sound you hear is a closin′ door
Been lookin′ for peace, but they're bringin′ you war

Rich man cryin' ′cause his money is time
Poor man's smilin′ 'cause he knows he ain't blind
He knows he ain′t blind
There′s a man over there, says he's tougher than me
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy
I can see through fantasy

I think my life is passin′ me by
I think my life is passin' me by


Take it all back ′cause it don't mean nothing
If you give it away and you′re lookin' for something back
Lookin' for something back
You wake up every mornin′ and there′s nothing there
No reason to die, but no reason to care

Someone else tellin' you what you′re livin' for
Been knockin′ you down, now you're lookin′ for more
Now the only sound you hear is a closin' door
Been lookin' for peace, but they′re bringin′ you war

We got one life to live, but we're doin′ it wrong
You see, got my brother down 'cause he′s nothing to me
He's nothing to me
And as the rich man cry ′cause his money's time
The poor man smilin' ′cause he knows he ain′t blind
He knows he ain't blind

I think my life is passin′ me by
I think my life is passin' me by


One life to live, but we′re doin' it wrong, you see
One life to live, but we′re doin' it wrong, you see
One life to live, but we're doin′ it wrong, you see
One life to live, but we′re doin' it wrong, you see
One life to live, but we′re doin' it wrong, you see
One life to live, but we′re doin' it wrong, you see
One life to live, but we′re doin' it wrong, you see
One life to live, but we're doin′ it wrong, you see

You know, we′re doin' it wrong
Yeah, we′re doin' it wrong, you see
I said we′re doin' it wrong, you see
You know, we′re doin' it wrong, you see
Yeah, we're doin′ it wrong, you see
I said we′re doin' it wrong, you see
You know, we′re doin' it wrong
I said we′re doin' it wrong
