PINHEAD GUNPOWDER LYRICS

"Brother"

Once I had a brother

And we grew up looking out for each other

And when he fucked up

I did my best to cover his lies



I hid him from the cops when he was a runaway

Put him up when he was on the streets with no place to stay

And when he lied and stole

I looked the other way



Cuz in time

I knew he would find a way to get his life together

And we would be alright if we just stuck together

And somehow we would both make it through

Somehow we would make it through



Maybe I tried too hard to be a brother

There comes a time you gotta burn your bridges to discover

What you are inside



I thought I knew my brother but I was wrong

Maybe I'd been lying to myself all along

When he burned his bridges he burned me at the same time



Well brother, brother,

How could you be so hateful, so ungrateful

After all that we'd been through?

Someday you'll get what's coming to you

Someday you'll get what's coming to you



You stole my money then my friends

And now my girlfriend too

You say you treat everyone like a brother

And it's true cuz you screw everyone

The way that you screwed me



You're a tumor, a leech, a sore that won't go away

Leaving a path of discarded people in your wake

You're a thief

A thief who stole my trust

And that's the worst thing you could take



But every underdog must have his day

So you'd better stay the hell out of my way

Cuz this dog's day is coming soon

And this dog won't let bad feelings pass

This dog wants grudges to last

Cuz this dog won't forget how he was done in.



Well you selfish little motherfucker

I hope I never live to see you hurt another

Cuz life you touch is life you smother like mine
