Brother

Hey, my brother, what went so wrong?
Everybody was green when you got it on,
Now it’s different, drowning in your debt,
Did you never realise how bad this shit would get?
Hey, my brother, life soon lost its thrill,
Caught red-handed with your fingers in the till,
Here’s the news: it’s much worse than you thought,
Lied once too often, eventually you were caught,
It all happened so fast, I guess, life ran away with you,
Too much too soon, they said, and I guess that much is true,
What you gonna do?
Hey, my brother, is it true what I heard?
That you tried so hard to talk but she ignored every word.
It seems to me the situation’s crazy
When you’re fighting over nothing, just think about the baby.
It all happened so fast, I guess, life ran away with you,
Too much too soon, they said, and I guess that much is true,
What you gonna do?
I know it’s easy for me to sit on the outside,
And watch the situation unfold, so over-simplified.
But there’s no reason why all you had has died,
In years you’ll both look back and regret you never tried.
It all happened so fast, I guess, life ran away with you,
Too much too soon, they said, and I guess that much is true,
What you gonna do?
It all happened so fast, I guess, life ran away with you,
Too much too soon, they said, and I guess that much is true,
What you gonna do?
