PEARL JAM - Brother lyrics

rate me

You should be happy with what you got...

You should be hard to be a brother...

You should be happy with what we give you...

Hand over my face. I am related to my enemy.

My house on fire,

And my big brother come put the blame on me.

He's a-pushin'...I'm being pushed from above.

Oh, and a brother, back to back to back,

Better back off of him.

You should not questioh at all his authority...

Use a flag as a bandage.

Stick 'em up, show us your pocket hypocrisy.

In the closet, my pleasures

'Cause my big brother don't want to just let me be.

Oh, and I'm pushin'...oh if I could get above...

Oh, and a brother back to back back,

Keep your back off.

Oh, and I'm pushin'...I'm being pushed from above.

Oh, and a brother, back to back to back,

Better back off of him...

Face down...brother...

Face down...

In my mind there's a clearing.

Black clouds flow through grey still skies.

And the birds don't even whisper.

I'm flying out...I'm flying...

Back to back back, better back off...

Back to back to back, a better, better, better...

Back to back to back, back to back back...brother...

Face down...brother...

Face down...

Face down...brother...

Face down...almost...fired...

Face down...I got a gun...

Face down...

I got a gun...I got a gun...

Face down...I got a gun...

Face down...

Aah, fuck it, I'm just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin' TV...

Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...

Like I could even change the world, yeah right...
