Comment (If All Men Are Truly Brothers)
A great song that I've probably heard a dozen times listening to this album ... "Kicking Television" by Wilco. Here are the lyrics. Watch out for your friends Well they may lose in the end Sometimes their child can make you sin What is a man without a friend? We all live within a game The word 'excuse' has many names Where true friends really come You can't afford to lose one
If all men were truly brothers Why then do we hurt one another? Love and peace from ocean to ocean Somebody please second my emotion! All men were born to be free, yeah What about you? And what about me? This world is filled with hate! There's nothing left If you enslave me, you'll never rescue yourself
Well jealousy, as I recall Has always been man's hardest fall To conquer fear, well that's quite a quest Until we do never rest A child was born yesterday Nothing but an innocent babe Someone sowed a bitter seed How could it grow but a bitter weed? Society, how can you teach If you don't practice what you preach?
If all men were truly brothers Why then, can't we love one another? Love and peace from ocean to ocean Somebody please second my emotion! All men were born to be free, yeah What about you? What about me? This world is filled with hate! There's nothing left If you enslave me, you'll only hurt yourself
Hey you! Over there! I want to know why you left With all your riches and your fancy things Can you tell me how many friends can you truly say you have?
