Lyrics

Brother

[Verse 1]

21st century highlights are on now

What do you recall from the forgotten years?

Better hop to the rhythm of the drum and crowd

Battered and bruised from a healthy hand

[Verse 2]

You're either high up above or stuck down below

People queuing up to watch a carnival show

10,000 eyes in a head full of room

God help American the bride and groom

[Chorus]

We can't talk at all, we can't love

You took our mind, you can't take our blood

Terrified of compromise

And I will stick with you my brother

[Verse 3]

Vultures are crawling all around the hillside

Caterpillar blooms to a stormy night

She patiently waits for opportunity

Taking the best of what we provide

[Chorus]

We can't talk at all, we can't love

You took our mind, you can't take our blood

Terrified of compromise

And I will stick with you my brother

[Bridge]

Oh Brother

[Chorus]

We can't talk at all, we can't love

You took our mind, you can't take our blood

Terrified of compromise

And I will stick with you my brother

[Chorus]

We can't talk at all, we can't love

You took our mind, you can't take our blood

Terrified of compromise

And I will stick with you my brother
