Brothers in Arms

lyrics

To you my brothers in arms,
To my old brothers in arms and the war we won
My brothers in arms, I’d raise a glass if I had one.
Haven’t felt me such purpose
Haven’t felt me such pride in all these years
Hadn’t found me a reason to get off the floor
Till I saw you.

My brothers in arms
My ugly brothers in arms with the bad, bad breath
My brothers in arms, I promise you, brothers till death.
Haven’t felt me such power
Haven’t felt me such strength in all these years
Hadn’t found me a reason to get out the door
Till I smelled you.

My brothers in arms
My dumbass brothers in arms with the stupid grin
My brothers in arms, let’s raise a cheer, you know we will win.
Can you all feel the promise?
Can you all feel the hope after all these years?
Can you all see the reason we came here for?
Now let’s show them.

My brothers in arms
My no good brothers in arms of the balding head
My brothers in arms, let’s raise some hell, to show we ain’t dead!
Heard the say we’re just bums out here
Heard them say we’re just two bit malcontents
Heard them say we’re just sad sacks to ignore
But we’re an army

Of brothers in arms
Obnoxious brothers in arms who know who were are
O, brothers in arms, we happy few, we’ve come so far.
We’ve come so far.
