O Brother
(album: Wall Of People)
O brother where are you? (Face forward and stop thinking.)
Do you admit regret in times of doubt? (We will think for you.)
A life of gun in hand, with a dedication to your land,
inside out you´ve shown it´s not what life´s all about.
No, we cannot believe in what you said,
when your whole life´s been a sacrifice mislead, mislead.
But we still hold the pride.
When the gun smoke clears, we´ll still salute you.
When you return by the tide,
and we´ll be here to see your life through.
I´m confused and punctured.
My conscience is my only means of direction.
Did I sign up for suicide, or a saddened bride?
Three more years, no white picket fencing, suffering a mental conviction.
Please, don´t you think that now we will look down
on a man who´s realized what´s true to him now, to him now.
But we still hold the pride.
When the gun smoke clears, we´ll still salute you.
When you return by the tide,
and we´ll be here to see your life through, to see your life.
It´s not giving up, it´s seeing what else there´s to see.
When you´re soon set free, there is so much more than a camouflaged hell.
SO COCK THE GUN AND FIRE INTO THE EYES OF A GREAT DESIRE.
A fleeting destiny has turned into what´s considered to be normal.
And I´m here for you. And I´m here for you.
No, we cannot believe in what you said,
when your whole life´s been a sacrifice mislead, mislead.
But we still hold the pride.
When the gun smoke clears, we´ll still salute you.
When you return by the tide,
and we´ll be here to see your life through.
