Sam Roberts - Brother Down lyrics

rate me

One life to live, but we're doing it wrong, you see Got a brother down Cause he's nothing to me Yeah, he's nothing to me Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat But there's no other way to get your life on easy street Get your life on easy street Someone else telling you what you're living for Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more And the only sound you hear is a closing door Been looking for peace, but they're bringing you war Rich man crying because money is time Poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't blind And there's a man over there, say's 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, then you're looking for something back You wake up every morning and 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 And the only sound you hear is a closing door Been looking for peace, but they're bringing you war We've got one life to live, but we're doing it wrong, you see Got a brother down cause he's nothing to me He's nothing to me And there's a rich man crying because money is time A poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't blind Knows he ain't blind I think my life is passing me by I think my life is passing me by One life to live, but we're doing it wrong, you see (Thanks to Manda for these lyrics)
