Brothers Off The Block - Comet Gain

I can’t blame you for tryin'

With broken glass halos on your feet

Free shoes, read books for every kid you meet

Join the serenade on your street

You better rest, then run

You better rest, then run

You better rest, then run

'Cos the brothers off the block never had that luck

The courage to die for your people

You better set those brothers free

The courage to die for what you believe in

Set those brothers free

You better set those brothers free

Read about King Street in the papers

Liverpool dockers with desperate measures

Determined destiny with broken by the bowed down bows

And leather rifles look so mean

Give 'em what they need

You better rest, then run

You better rest, then run

'Cos the brothers on the block never had no luck

The courage to die for your people

You better set those brothers free

Father, son, and brother

Together in unity

Oh, you gotta set those brothers free

As the flies go lowered your faithful soul

Gotta reeducate the high streets joe

You get a bullet in the back for all the promised beaten back

You get a bullet in the back for all the promised beaten back

You transcend street corner singer at the age of 22

Now what you gonna do

And there’s a junkie sunrise over Oakland Bridge

And there’s a junkie sunrise over Oakland Bridge

And there’s a junkie sunrise over Vauxhall Bridge

And there’s a junkie sunrise over Vauxhall Bridge

You better rest, then run

You better rest, then run

You better rest, then run

You better rest, then run

'Cos the brothers off the block never had no luck

The courage to die for your people

You better set those brothers free

The courage to die for what you believe in

Revolutionary, dead and buried

He’s a revolutionary, yeah

He’s a revolutionary

Oh, he’s a revolutionary
