Brother, Oh Brother - American Aquarium

Oh brother oh brother oh brother of mine

I'm writing you a letter it's been a long time

Tell mama that I love her tell her everything's fine

Oh brother oh brother oh brother of mine

My daddy lived by the gun and his daddy did to

Back when serving your country wasn't up to you

He said some were born to talk boy

And some were born to shoot

My daddy lived by the gun and his daddy did too

So I got my daddy's name stitched

Crossed my chest

And now I can drop a man from about two clicks

I wonder if he's proud of me yet

I've got my daddy's name stitched

Crossed my chest

And now my hands are tired and my feet are sore

And I'm sick of dodging bullets

For another mans war

I've lost all sight of what I'm fighting for

My hands are tired and my feet are sore

'Cause I've been fighting for

An answer that's long been lost

Did God walk through the desert

Or die on the 'cross

These Stars and Stripes my albatross

I've been fighting for an answer

That's long been lost

So I got my rifle steady and my aim is true

No matter what side I pledge allegiance to

I'm just doing the job I get paid to do

I got my rifle steady and my aim is true

Because my momma did her best to raise me well

She taught me bouta heaven and

She taught me bouta hell

Now where I'll end up man it's hard to tell

My momma did her best to raise me well

But war can bring out the worst in a man

When your country's got

Your heart and the Devils got your hands

It'll make you do things you never had planned

A war can bring out the worst in a man

Oh brother oh brother oh brother of mine

If you're reading this letter

It's the end of the line

I ran outta luck I ran outta time

Oh brother oh brother oh brother of mine
