Aaron Cometbus - Brother Lyrics

Well, once I had a brother
And we grew up looking out for each other
When he fucked up, I did my best to cover his lies
I hid him from the cops when he was a runaway
Put him up when he was on the streets with no place to stay
And when he lied and stole, I looked the other way

'Cause in time I knew he would find a way to get his life together
And we would be all right if we just stuck together
Somehow we would both make it through
Somehow we'd both make it through

Maybe I tried too hard to be a brother
There comes a time when you gotta burn your bridges to discover
What you really are inside
I thought I knew my brother, but I was wrong
Maybe I'd been lying to myself all along
When he burned his bridges, he burned me at the same time

Well brother, brother, how could you be so hateful, so ungrateful
After all that we'd been through?
Someday you'll get what's coming to you
Someday you'll get what's coming to you

You stole my money, then my friends, and now my lover
You say you treat everyone like a brother, and it's true
'Cause you screw over everyone the way that you screwed me
You're a tumor, a leech, a sore that won't go away
Leaving a path of discarded people in your wake
You're a thief, a thief who stole my trust
And that's the worst thing you could take
But every underdog must have his day
So you'd better stay the hell out of my way
'Cause this dog's day is coming soon
And this dog won't let bad feelings pass
This dog wants grudges to last
'Cause this dog won't forget how he was done in

Well, you selfish little motherfucker
I hope I never live to see you hurt another
'Cause life you touch is life you smother, like mine
Someday you'll get what's coming to you
Someday you'll get what's coming to you
