Sam Roberts - Brother Down lyrics

One life to live but we're doing it wrong you see Got my brother down 'cause it's nothing to me Everyone's saying that it's wrong to cheat But there's no other way to 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 'cause his money is time Poor man smiling 'cause he knows he ain't blind There's a man over there says he's tougher than me But I got eyes that can see through fantasy I think my life is pa**ing me by I think my life is pa**ing me by Take it all back 'cause it don't mean nothing If you give it away and 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 One life to live but we're doing it wrong you see
