Little Brother Marley

Looking back on my life each day The one I hardly knew ran away The closest they had nothing to say It's always someone's turn to pay Well you're sitting here in this dark old tomb Sipping the wine they bought for you 'Til the wires change and you're lifted And your mind's haze has shifted Well you know this is true Little brother we're on the same page somewhere We know they never really cared You say our live's have been typed out unfair Across the corridor you'll see the stare But I made a pact in this world And I won't be told where to go The world's people don't owe me a thing Compassion is all I will sing Summertime's a long way far from here The cruelty of it will disappear You won't get back what you have put in Their miles ahead before you can begin Please don't go preaching someone's book They'll rewrite it just so you can take a look Well you know this is true Little brother we're on the same page somewhere We know they never really cared You say our live's have been typed out unfair Across the corridor you'll see the stare But I made a pact in this world And I won't be told where to go And I dreamed of two kids you could see We played in those years they set us free
