Testo di Oh, Brother

All my friends are going places And I’m just burning all the bridges They’ve seen to have it all worked out And I’m just trying to keep it loud This is where the story goes This is how I lost my voice When I was fifteen I didn’t care about anyone High school was just Another distraction With no highs but lows And fucking ups But that’s when I found it And it sounded like feelings I didn’t get the words But I knew they had meaning I was lost and found The sound that made me feel alive Welcome to the world of punk Freaks and geeks and silly drugs Welcome to starting a band Skipping school when surf gets high By 22 I forgot what I was doing I was getting lost inside my father’s wishes Of trading music and adventures For a desk with limitations Welcome to your 9 to 5 If you call in sick you better be dying Welcome to stability The king of boredom and routines Do you Remember when we were truly happy? 3 simple chords and everyone is dancing I’m looking forward for that time again And I’ll say: Hey stop wasting time you got this! I want you to follow What makes you feel different I want you to struggle Pay your dues, get blisters I want you to dream big Bigger than I ever did I want you to fight for it Against the odds I want you to fall in love again Against the rules I want you to lose your voice too Screaming your heart out! Sing your heart out!
