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
