Lyrics

You should be happy with what you got..
You should be hard to be a brother..
You should be happy with what we give you..

Hand over my face. I am related to my enemy
My house on fire
And my big brother come put the blame on me

He's a-pushin'...I'm being pushed from above
Oh, and a brother, back to back to back
Better back off of him

You should not questioh at all his authority..

Use a flag as a bandage
Stick 'em up, show us your pocket hypocrisy
In the closet, my pleasures
'Cause my big brother don't want to just let me be

Oh, and I'm pushin'...oh if I could get above..
Oh, and a brother back to back back
Keep your back off
Oh, and I'm pushin'...I'm being pushed from above
Oh, and a brother, back to back to back
Better back off of him..

Face down...brother..
Face down... [3x]

In my mind there's a clearing
Black clouds flow through grey still skies
And the birds don't even whisper
I'm flying out...I'm flying..

Back to back back, better back off..
Back to back to back, a better, better, better..
Back to back to back, back to back back...brother..
Face down...brother..
Face down..
Face down...brother..
Face down...almost...fired..
Face down...i got a gun..
Face down..
I got a gun...i got a gun..
Face down...i got a gun..
Face down..

Aah, fuck it, I'm just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin' tv..
Watch the nightly news and drink a beer..
Like I could even change the world, yeah right..
