Brother Down

One life to live but we're doing it wrong You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me Everyone's saying that it's wrong to cheat But there's no other way to get my life on easy street Someone else telling you what you're living for Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more The only sound you hear is a closing door Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war Rich man's crying cause his money's time And poor man's smiling cause 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 think my life is passing me by I think my life is passing me by Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing If you give it away and you're looking for something back Wake up every morning when there's nothing there No reason to die but no reason to care Someone else telling you what you're living for Been knocking you down now you're looking for more The only sound you hear is a closing door Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war One life to live but we're doing it wrong You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me Rich man's crying cause his money's time Poor man's smiling cause he knows he ain't blind I think my life is passing me by I think my life is passing me by
