American Aquarium - Brother, Oh Brother lyrics

Oh brother, oh brother, oh brother of mine I'm writing you a letter it's been a long time Tell mama that I love her, tell her everything's fine Oh brother, oh brother, oh brother of mine My daddy lived by the gun and his daddy did to Back when serving your country wasn't up to you He said, "Some were born to talk boy and some were born to shoot" My daddy lived by the gun and his daddy did too So I got my daddy's name stitched crossed my chest And now I can drop a man from about two clicks I wonder if he's proud of me yet I've got my daddy's name stitched crossed my chest And now my hands are tired and my feet are sore And I'm sick of dodging bullets for another man's war I've lost all sight of what I'm fighting for My hands are tired and my feet are sore 'Cause I've been fighting for an answer that's long been lost Did God walk through the desert or die on the cross? These Stars and Stripes, my albatross I've been fighting for an answer that's long been lost So I got my rifle steady and my aim is true No matter what side I pledge allegiance to I'm just doing the job I get paid to do I got my rifle steady and my aim is true Because my momma did her best to raise me well She taught me bout heaven and she taught me 'bout a hell Now where I'll end up man it's hard to tell My momma did her best to raise me well But war can bring out the worst in a man When your country's got your heart and the Devil's got your hands It'll make you do things you never had planned A war can bring out the worst in a man Oh brother, oh brother, oh brother of mine If you're reading this letter it's the end of the line I ran outta luck, I ran outta time Oh brother, oh brother, oh brother of mine
