Pearl Jam Brother (Original Version) Lyrics

be happy with what you got
you should be hard to be a brother
you should be happy with what we can do...
oooh...hand over my face
i am related to my enemy...
oooh...my house on fire
and my big brother come put the blame on me, yeah...
oh, he's a pushin'
i'm being pushed from above
oh, and a brother
back to back back, better back off of him
you should not question at all his authority...
oooh...use a flag as a bandaid
a-stick 'em up, show us your pocket hypocrasy, yeah...
oooh, in the closet, my pleasures
'cause my big brother don't want to just let me be

or if i could get above
oh, and a brother
back to back back, a-keep your back off...
