Comment (If All Men Are Truly Brothers) - Wilco

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?
