lyrics

Brother, you have changed
And you probably don't know what that means
Just trust me, cause I've been there before
And I hope that you don't have to be there any longer
Because the world is makeing you bitter
You can't let it, because it won't make things better
Just take the world by it's hand,

And throw it's punk-ass in a garbage can
And throw it's punk-ass in a garbage can

I miss you brother, and I don't know when I'll see you next
When I say you, I don't mean the car she wrecked
I mean you brother, from two years ago
I miss all the things that we used to think we knew

I'm begging you to come back from that grave that she dug for you
Cause when you're down deep in the ground we can't even talk to you
And if I'm wrong about what I've sang here tonight
Please tell me if I'm wrong or tell me if I'm right
I don't want you to change, I don't want you to change at all
i just want you to be alright

A broken heart I wouldn't wish it on my own worst enemy
Except to Saddam Hussein & Hitler and that bitch Mouselini
Because they're a threat to love everywhere, a threat to humanity
Broken hearts should be reserved for the wicked, for people with no empathy
And you have plenty of that, you give a shit about everyone you meet
But sometimes people just don't like the meet and greet
And some time they break your heart, and they throw you in a ditch
And you just have to move past it

I remember the talks we had, two years ago
How we wanted to live and where we wanted to go
We wanted to live differently than everybody else
Without a car, or any money, or a wife or a house

And So we set a date, 8 years from now
I plan to see you then, and then see how
You've lived you life the way you wanted to
And if you even have a wife, I'll kidnap the shit out of you.

We'll go live in the woods 'till the forest burns down
Then we'll go live on an island, and dig a hole in the ground
Put a hatch on the top, label it "QUARANTINE"
Push a button every 108 minutes, It'll just be you & me.
