Lyrics
We are brothers I've heard it said,
but it doesn't look that way to me.
Can I take you out to tea?
Why the gun?Why to me?
No-one escapes this merry-go-round alive....alive.
We are brothers, Cain and Able.
Watch your back, watch your back.
Blood is thicker than water.
Blood is mostly water.
The tribe is on the move again,
No thought for the unfit left behind.
Time to get back in line,
Defend good, end evil.
No-one escapes this merry-go-round alive....alive.
We are brothers, Cain and Able.
Watch your back, watch your back.
Blood is thicker than water.
Blood is mostly water.
