Oh Brother

from Rust and Ruin by Hopes

lyrics

Oh brother, where art thou?
You seem so far away
You've taken your chances
And joined up to the military
It sent a chill down my spine
When you told me on that rainy day
Back in the warmth of July

Be the best, said the paperwork
Kill or be killed, or maimed, or worse

What are they fighting for?
Something worth dying for?
Why are we giving more?
Something worth crying for?

Despite all I try, I don't believe in second chances
It was all lies, heroic romances

What are they fighting for?
Something worth dying for?
Why are we giving more?
Something worth crying for?

Brother
Saviour
Brother
Destroyer

I thought I'd do my part
I thought I'd try, to understand, so I followed in your footsteps
And saw the mess left behind
The coffins stacked on either side speak louder than the words
The families, torn in two, will always be haunted, by memories of you

And you, and you, and you, my heroes to help, my demons in halos
And you, and you, and you, my heroes to help, my demons in halos

Pick another penny
Pick another penny
Pick another penny

I hope it brings you luck
