You use it to confuse me

But mostly you use it to use me

When all along you know you’ve been my worst enemy

For the whole wide world to see

For decades destroying the peace in your own community

From the best that it could be

You use it when you want something

To soften me up for the good that it’ll bring

My My My how that word you’ll sing

When you find yourself without anything

But you’ll let a philosophy, or a religion, or opinions of the crowd

Or even a whim that you say out loud

Turn you away from just being a kind human being

The only thing which could crown us as kings

And it can happen anytime, any place, and without even the trace

Of shame on your face

Its a pimp word you use to pimp me out of things

When you use that word

When you call me brother

And how I long for the day when that word you utter

Will mean something other

Than what it means today

When you won’t let a philosophy, or a religion, or opinions of the crowd

Or even a whim that you say out loud

Prevent you from just being a kind human being
