Brothers With Words

Of all the people
In the world today
Seven mighty brothers
Have much to say
But brothers with words
Won't save the day
When the walls come tumbling down

It's a pity
They've got the right
To tell me how
I should live my life
When life has given me
Just enough foresight
To see the walls are coming down

Plant your feet somewhere
Take only weight your hands can bear
A spider in her web can hold her own
When Mr. Consequence comes to town
But brothers with words
Won't save the day
When the walls come tumbling down

It's not that I'm a downer
It's a simple fact
It's what happens
When you take more
Than you give back
When your world is built around
What you someday will lack
The wall's have gotta come back down

So if I simply unpaint my eyes
Take a look around
And I realize
My city on a hill
Wasn't built for time
And the walls are coming down

And so I'll plant my feet somewhere
Take only weight my hands can bear
A spider in her web can hold her own
When Mr. Consequence comes to town
And brothers with words
Won't save the day
When the walls come tumbling down

Oh just plant your feet somewhere
Take only the weight your hands can bear
And hold onto you hat
When the shit hits the fan
That it will, I have no doubt
And brothers with words
Won't save the day
When the walls come tumbling down

Of all the people
In the world today
Seven mighty brothers
Have much to say
But brothers with words
Won't save the day
When the walls come tumbling down
Brothers with words
Won't save the day
When the walls come tumbling down
