Brothers

Lonely days lead to drunken nights
Lousy lays bring out the random fights
A car is a home when one is alone
Two friends can stay on the road,
Runaways

And the sun falls on another day
Six more months 'til the month of May
But who do you answer to
When God gave up
and there's so much left to do?

Between the weed and the speed
And the constant nicotine
The pain in their heads
With a Beretta as their beds
Who knew what would become
Of those two lost brothers
Drinking in the park
Dodging the police
and writing to their mothers
Begging take me back please

They never took into account
That their lives would happen
And they would never amount
To the expectations
Brought on by the greed
From the nicotine the weed
And souls would be lost
For the acid and the speed

The drunken nights brought the sun up on them
They left that home that was never forgotten
One went north and the other went to jail
They knew they couldn't win
But they wouldn't fucking fail.
