lyrics

Sometimes things are the way they seem
And sometimes they're not nearly so straight forward
We spent nearly all of our time together
No need to say much because we knew each other
I'm my brother's keeper

I don't feel I owe anybody an explanation
What with all these folks pokin' me for answers
I don't owe anybody anything
I know we seem different to you
But from where we're standing
You seem pretty different to us, too
You're not gonna fool me, are ya?

Your ways are not our ways
You're not going to fool me
Into saying I did something wrong
Because I didn't
I didn't do anything wrong
He was my brother

Sometimes things are the way they are
And sometimes they're not nearly so straight forward
Brother's keeper, brother's keeper, brother's keeper
I'm my brother's keeper, I'm my brother's keeper

It's you who insists there's meaning in this
It's me who reveals that's just how it feels

Don't lose that tune boy
Is all I'm saying
No better ending
No chance of changing
I've nothing left boy
Is what I'm saying
No better ending
No sense remaining

So you dress the corpse
And you close the lid
And you make the arrangements
And you fill me full of secrets
Because this is family business

We spent nearly all of our time together
No need to say much because we knew each other
I'm my brother's keeper
That's all the talkin' I'm gonna do
That's that's that's that's just about close enough now
You know, you know you corner a dog
He's not just gonna sit there is he?
No no no he's gonna bite you if he has to
So go on, go on I ain't sayin' no more, now
I ain't sayin' no more to you now
So go on go on

It's you who insists there's meaning to this
It's me who reveals that's just how it feels

Don't lose that tune boy
Is all I'm saying
No better ending
No chance of changing
I've nothing left boy
Is what I'm saying
No better ending
No sense remaining

This dust room, with you, with you
I am not the one...
That's all

Listen to "Employee of the Myth" today!: eek.lnk.to/SDEOTM

One day, if someone with perfect penmanship and a great memory for details takes up a Canadian Rock Family Tree project and plots the development of the Canadian roots rock community, they may discover that many — if not all — branches and roots at some point interconnect with the Skydiggers.
