Brethren Lyrics - Stephen Malkmus

Such a fine life, relenting and good for the most part up to now 

Though you know it could all fall apart 

In an instant, come crashing down 

The song and dance, it's part of the trance 

I don't know when I picked it up 

The avoidance drips from your chin 

You'll never win with a brethren (brethren) 

Brethren (brethren) 

Brethren (brethren)

So you flip-flop over again 

To the dark side of the coliseum 

Down into a hole, into the cellar, here we go 

Peruse the data and you will see 

I am correct, now notice me 

An invitation to be a star 

You know you are with a brethren 

Brethren

Brethren headlock 

Before you get booed off the stage 

Find a door that opens out 

And skip the pleasantries 

Pretend the crowd is Germany 

See ya later 

The situation's never in doubt

Just hear me out with a brethren
