"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"
be happy with what you got
you should be hard to be a brother
you should be happy with what we can do...
oooh...hand over my face
i am related to my enemy...
oooh...my house on fire
and my big brother come put the blame on me, yeah...
oh, he's a pushin'
i'm being pushed from above
oh, and a brother
back to back back, better back off of him
you should not question at all his authority...
oooh...use a flag as a bandaid
a-stick 'em up, show us your pocket hypocrasy, yeah...
oooh, in the closet, my pleasures
'cause my big brother don't want to just let me be
oh...oh, and i'm pushin'
or if i could get above
oh, and a brother
back to back back, a-keep your back off...
oh, and i'm pushin'
i'm being pushed from above
oh, and a brother
back to back a-back, a-better back off of him...
yeah yeah yeah...oh...
face down...brother...
face down...yeah yeah yeah yeah...
face down...yeah...
face down...yeah...
oh...ooh...ah...
in my mind there's a clearing
black clouds flow through grey still skies
and the birds don't even whisper...yeah...
i'm flying out...mmm...i'm flying...
whoa...
oh, back to back back, a-better back off
back to back a-back, a better, better, better...
back to back a-back, back a-back back...brother...
face down...brother...
face down...yeah yeah yeah a-yeah...
face down...brother...oh...
face down...almost...fired...
face down...whoa...i got a gun...
face down...
i got a gun...
i got a gun...
face down...i got a gun...
whoa...face down...
aah, fuck it, i'm just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin' tv...
...and watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
...like i could even change the world, yeah right...
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
i really like the song with the lyrics...actually when i got lost dogs, my husband and i were listening to it, and he goes, didn't this have words to it? i didn't know there was a non-lyric version of it...the words really have a lot to say.
