Texty: Sam Roberts. We Were Born In A Flame. Brother Down.

One life to live, but we're doing it wrong, you see
Got a brother down
Cause he's nothing to me
Yeah, he's nothing to me

Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there's no other way to get your life on easy street
Get your life on easy street

Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more
And the only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace, but they're bringing you war

Rich man crying because money is time
Poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't blind
And there's a man over there, say's 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, then you're looking for something back
You wake up every morning and 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
And the only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace, but they're bringing you war

We've got one life to live, but we're doing it wrong, you see
Got a brother down cause he's nothing to me
He's nothing to me
And there's a rich man crying because money is time
A poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't blind
Knows he ain't blind

I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by

One life to live, but we're doing it wrong, you see
