Brother Down Lyrics - We Were Born In A Flame - Sam Roberts

One life to live but we're doing it wrong 

You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me 

Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat 

But there's no other way to get my life on easy street 

Someone else telling you what you're living for 

Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more 

The only sound you hear is a closing door 

Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war 

Rich man cryin' cause his money's time 

And poor man's smilin' 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 passing me by 

I think my life is passing me by 

Take it all back 'cause it don't mean nothing 

If you give it away and you're looking for something back 

Wake up every morning when 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 

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, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me 

Rich man cryin' cause his money's time 

And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind 

I think my life is passing me by 

I think my life is passing me by
