untitled 3 brothers

Brand New

So the air s gettin colder,
and the news keeps us scared,
I still wrestle this summer,
from the bones of our tired, blistered hands,
cause tonight we got drinks,
just a couple of friends,
and the girl that my brother likes is finally talkin to him,
and his chest is all swelled like he s proud and happy,
like he s got a great idea,
like he s makin a memory...

Wake up,
and come out to the car,
there s an east swell comin ,
and it s howlin offshore,
and we ll be,
lyin like lions out in the sand,
but i ll be dead before you put a gun in my brother s hands.

So we make jokes back home,
and we lighten the mood,
but growing up my parents saw,
what sending a kid to fight can really do,
but now with the war I can tell they re a little shook up,
cause just a few mothers sons will never really be enough,
not til half our names are etched out in the wall,
and the other half ruined from the things we saw...

Wake up,
and come out to the car,
there s an east swell comin ,
and it s howlin offshore,
and we ll be,
lyin like lions out in the sand,
but i ll be dead before you put a gun in my brother s hands.
