Brother

[Verse 1] Well, once I had a brother And we grew up looking out for each other When he fucked up, I did my best to cover his lies I hid him from the cops when he was a runaway Put him up when he was on the streets with no place to stay And when he lied and stole, I looked the other way 'Cause in time [Chorus 1] I knew he would find a way to get his life together And we would be all right if we just stuck together Somehow we would both make it through Somehow we'd both make it through [Verse 2] Maybe I tried too hard to be a brother There comes a time when you gotta burn your bridges to discover What you really are inside I thought I knew my brother, but I was wrong Maybe I'd been lying to myself all along When he burned his bridges, he burned me at the same time [Chorus 2] Well brother, brother, how could you be so hateful, so ungrateful After all that we'd been through? Someday you'll get what's coming to you Someday you'll get what's coming to you [Verse 3] You stole my money, then my friends, and now my lover You say you treat everyone like a brother, and it's true 'Cause you screw over everyone The way that you screwed me You're a tumor, a leech, a sore that won't go away Leaving a path of discarded people in your wake You're a thief, a thief who stole my trust And that's the worst thing you could take [Verse 4] But every underdog must have his day So you'd better stay the hell out of my way 'Cause this dog's day is coming soon And this dog won't let bad feelings pass This dog wants grudges to last 'Cause this dog won't forget how he was done in [Chorus 3] Well, you selfish little motherfucker I hope I never live to see you hurt another 'Cause life you touch is life you smother, like mine Someday you'll get what's coming to you Someday you'll get what's coming to you
