Well brother where are you right now?
You get so tired of screaming out
It seems you find it much too loud
Oh brother tell me where art thou?
Now brother won't you hold my hand?
As I try my best to understand
Why raging rivers need a dam
You're just a boy, you're not a man
I have wasted so much time
But I will let this go tonight
Out of mind and out of sight
Oh brother, please turn out the lights
Why won't you please turn out the lights?
You know I love you in my heart
But brother's tearing it apart
I don't know why it's still so hard
A victim in this house of cards
We waste our time with stupid game
And all these orders stay the same
Well brother when will you refrain?
From judging things you can't explain
I have wasted so much time
But I will let this go tonight
Out of mind and out of sight
Oh brother, please turn out the lights
Why won't you please turn out the lights?
Take responsibility, now look into this mirror
You're always quick to criticize but your image isn't clear
You think that we all owe you but we've never owed a thing
It's a bond that's made with bloodlines, we aren't bound by puppet strings
We aren't bound by puppet strings
I have wasted so much time
But I will let this go tonight
Out of mind and out of sight
Oh brother, please turn out the lights
Why won't you please turn out the lights?
Well I am not a marionette
The things you say, I won't forget
I'll live my life with no regrets
Oh brother, nothing's changing yet
Well brother, nothing's changing yet
