I've seen enough
Of this thing at work called cynicism
And I'm tired of hearing twisted thoughts
With bent expressions
I see no reason to be brother's keeper
'Cause at this point
All I need is something something more
In fact this could be hard for me
It could take everything my spirit
Mind and body can endure
The cynic in me tried to cheat
A pathetic excuse that deceived me
Can't let it lead me
Just a lie
The biggest ever
I saw that man
On the street with empty eyes
Not a soul stopped
And said a word to him
My thoughts don't get involved
It's not safe I'm late for work
He'll just ask for money
Brother's keeper
Brother's keeper
How much proof do I need
How much evidence will it take
Shake me down to the core
When it's my life at stake
See that's different now
Its priority now I care
Brother's keeper
Just act now brother's keeper
Don't complain mama's sleeper
Be a father not a weeper
Get off my soap box
Don't want to be a want to be a creeper
Brother's keeper
Just look around me brother's keeper
Standing still till we meet the reaper
No chance of boredom mama's sleeper
Way too much work to do brother's keeper
The brutal cold from Yugoslavia
Cools the mist of death in Macedonia
While the hunger pains in Africa
I just plant my flag in absentia
Just act now brother's keeper
Don't complain mama's sleeper
Be a father not a weeper
Get off my soap box
Don't want to be a want to be a creeper
Brother's keeper
Just act now brother's keeper
Don't complain mama's sleeper
Be a father not a weeper
Get off my soap box
Don't want to be a want to be a creeper
Brother's keeper
I need something to do
Something real
It might pay me back a hundred times
And it might not
My cynic inside screams
I know pay back's a b***h
My thought respond with just a whisper
Can't listen to my cynic least of all my cynic
Least of all my cynic
I need something to do
Something real
It might pay me back a hundred times
And it might not
Whether I like enough
I sure as hell am my brother's keeper
As well be my brother's keeper
At least I figured out that much
Can't listen to my cynic least of all my cynic
I need something to do
Something real
It might pay me back a hundred times
And it might not
My cynic inside screams
I know pay back's a b***h
My thought respond with just a whisper
Can't listen to my cynic least of all my cynic
Least of all my cynic
I need something to do
Something real
It might pay me back a hundred times
And it might not
Whether I like enough
I sure as hell am my brother's keeper
Might as well be my brother's keeper
At least I figured out that much
Can't listen to my cynic least of all my cynic
I've seen enough
