Bend

[Verse 1] He's got a head like a brick Dead set in his ways Sticks and stones couldn't lead that horse to water He only hears what he wants Only thinks of himself Momma said "Damn that boy is just like his father" [Chorus 1] And he's doing time on a bed made of stone No rest for the weary, no more wishful thinking He can't go home, no starting over again Life's just one long fight he can not win Until he learns how to bend [Verse 2] He's got a short, short fuse Better not set him off When he thinks he's right He'd swear in front of Jesus Let him lie to your face, like he lies to himself The truth is no one's more afraid than he is [Chorus 1] And he's doing time on a bed made of stone No rest for the weary, no more wishful thinking He can't go home, no starting over again Life's just one long fight he can not win Until he learns how to bend Until he learns how to bend [Post-Chorus] Brother give in Brother give it up Brother let go You ain't strong enough, no We all need help, once in a while Wake up, you're living in denial [Chorus 2] You've done your time on a bed made of stone But it's not too late to change the way you're thinking Fall down on your knees, be born again and again Life's just one long fight you can not win Until you learn how to bend Until you learn how to bend [Outro] Brother be, brother be good Brother be, brother be good
