Let's get to the point now

Just because we've got the same mom & dad

That don't mean I'm your keeper

That don't mean I owe anything to you

You don't care for me

And man, I don't think that much of you

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

I don't approve of anything you do

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

Cain and Abel and me and you

You drove my car when we were young boys

And you tore it up too

You never paid to get it fixed

And you got me beat up a time or two

I know I should forgive and forget

But man I still hold a grudge against you

(chorus)

It's as normal as it can be

This sibling rivalry

We should have dropped it at 22

But man I can't stand the things you do

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

You're always wanting something from me

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

It was so much fun having you in the family

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

Now that we're grown up it ain't helped nothin' at all

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

On my birthday, please don't bother to call

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

Brothers brothers brothers

Yeah, you're my brother brother brother

Brothers brothers brothers

Yeah, we're brothers brothers brothers

Yeah, we're brothers brothers brothers

Brothers brothers brothers
