Decomposure - Oh Brother Lyrics
Oh brotheri don’t know what to sayshould i even bother?your mind is made up anyway.oh brotheri don’t know what’s become of youyou follow afterenraptured by the piper’s tuneI’d write you off if we were not connected by this bloodas it is, how can we talk if the phone lines have been cutand all the windows have been shut?Oh brotheri know you’re desperate to belong to something otherto define yourself through joining clubsoh brotherthe price of membership has been yourselfwhen you speak,somebody reaches through your guts to work your mouthSome say god when they mean americasome say courage when they mean hysteriasome say strength while they cave to terrorsome say bootstraps while they’re mostly carriedsome believe they’re smart just because they declare it,building nests of pleasant lies woven togetherso the painful truths can never break the barrieruntil the old aren’t wise and the young don’t care enoughand all my life i have been obliviousdo you think you could be too?But you’re so vainyou’d never know this song is about youyou’re not that selfawareto pick yourself out of a lineup if someone described youliving the biopic in your headdropping status updates so puffy and seethroughlike an actor out of work drops namesthey ring the bell and you salivate on cuecollect the full barbie playsetOh brotherpot and kettle, i know i’m just the samei’m supposed to love yousometimes i’d rather punch you in the faceoh brotheri wouldn’t careif i didn’t think you knew so much betterturn off the teleprompter and just be you
