Brother Rat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's go out and see what we see
Let's go out and see what we see
Just you and me
Just you and me
And there will be no other brother
Brother we'll knock back a few
And talk about life
We'll knock back a few
And talk about life and what is right
And what is right
We'll talk about life and what is right
And there will be no other brother, buddy, pal, comrade, friend buddy, pal, comrade, friend
Until the end
A shake of the hand,
A pat on the back
A shake of the hand,
A pat on the back
A knife in the back,
A knife in the back
I'll buy you a beer,
A knife in the back
And there will be no other brother
We're one in the same, You and me
We're one in the same, You and me
We're brothers, Brothers in arms
We're friends until the end
We're brothers, brothers in arms
Until the end your end
Brother rat
