oh brother

i don't know what to say

should i even bother?

your mind is made up anyway.

oh brother

i don't know what's become of you

you follow after

enraptured by the piper's tune

i'd write you off if we were not connected by this blood

as it is, how can we talk if the phone lines have been cut

and all the windows have been shut?

oh brother

i know you're desperate to belong to something other

to define yourself through joining clubs

oh brother

the price of membership has been yourself

when you speak,

somebody reaches through your guts to work your mouth

some say god when they mean america

some say courage when they mean hysteria

some say strength while they cave to terror

some say bootstraps while they're mostly carried

some believe they're smart just because they declare it,

building nests of pleasant lies woven together

so the painful truths can never break the barrier

until the old aren't wise and the young don't care enough

and all my life i have been oblivious

do you think you could be too?

but you're so vain

you'd never know this song is about you

you're not that selfaware

to pick yourself out of a lineup if someone described you

living the biopic in your head

dropping status updates so puffy and seethrough

like an actor out of work drops names

they ring the bell and you salivate on cue

collect the full barbie playset

oh brother

pot and kettle, i know i'm just the same

i'm supposed to love you

sometimes i'd rather punch you in the face

oh brother

i wouldn't care

if i didn't think you knew so much better

turn off the teleprompter and just be you

Nice song! Love the video, too. Simple, but it's cute and has a lot of charm.
