Wilco - Comment (If All Men Are Truly Brothers) lyrics

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 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, that's quite a quest Until we do never rest A child was born yesterday Oh, nothing but an innocent babe Someone sowed a bitter seed How could it grow but a bitter weed? Society, how can you teach, I wanna know If you don't practice what you preach? That's right 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 wanna 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?
