Mr. J Medeiros - Life Of Brian lyrics

[Mr. J. Medeiros] Yo I got a friend with autism, taught me more about living Than the system I was caught in Stereotypes we fought them, just by the places I had brought him The life of intolerance was shortened I guess society had missed it when they counted out the citizens They built a house of freedom but somehow couldn't fit ‘em in Yo, they're gonna let us in, our civil rights will get us in ‘Cause selfishness is sickness and Brian's got the medicine I think they need the Ritalin, America's forgot their friends But no country is perfect, go and ask the veterans And this is my sentiments exactly You and the ignorance attacks you, it attacks me Somebody asks me… [Mr. J. Medeiros] Yo Somebody ask me if I felt sorry for them I said yes, but mostly ‘cause he's dying of boredom Before him lies a community doesn't speak for him But they got a need for him like the season of autumn There ought to be change I'm speaking of the firing range People hear the shot but I wonder can you feel the pain Do you know his name? Well have you asked him? Do you ever hear him talk when you walk past him? Yeah, they say he's nonverbal, but tell me who is it So many people say things that mean something different Yo, it takes more than just a pair ears to listen He's been here all these years, I wonder how you missed him (The life of Brian) ‘Cause everywhere is looked at but hardly ever seen If you only take a look back, you'll know just what I mean The world slowly took back its promise of a dream Draw in the lines that we write between ‘Cause everywhere is looked at but hardly ever seen If you take a look back, you'll know just when I mean The world slowly took back its promise of a dream Draw in the lines that we write between (The life of Brian) (Draw in the lines that we write between) [Mr. J. Medeiros] I got a friend with autism taught me more about giving Than what's written in those self-help books The world can be a selfish crook Stealing life from your time line It helps me to think about how it's not mine ‘Cause those who hold on to the light are only bound to lose it So here's sound advice, others just the sound of music An underground steward, but see there's more to it Your God took the life of Brian and spoke through it He broke through it, the crazy misconceptions Challenging humanity's fear and their affection The same lessons right here where we left them Brian, he helped me find them, this time I won't forget them I'mma let them know exactly what you stand for We fighting in this foreign land for my man next door Your love can bring a man to war without violence And some of the greatest statements ever made were in silence It's time to face the violins, play it loud To lead the orchestra you gotta turn your back on the crowd And that's more than just a corny phrase, don't fall for the worldly ways Let the broken record play the message of the early days You love you like I love me The philosophy so simple yet it's still way above me I'm hoping ya find something when the verse intercedes This is written for the person in need, yo The life of Brian ‘Cause everywhere is looked at but hardly ever seen If you only take a look back, you'll know just what I mean The world slowly took back its promise of a dream Draw in the lines that we write between ‘Cause everywhere is looked at but hardly ever seen If you take a look back, you'll know just when I mean The world slowly took back its promise of a dream Draw in the lines that we write between, ha Draw in the lines that we write between Who draws the lines that we write between? Draw in the lines that we write between Who draws the lines that we write between? The life of Brian…
