Lyrics - Brother 52 by Fish

Doc: "
Tattoo
Shop"
Fish: "
Hi
Doc"
Doc: "
Hey
Fish, what are you doin' "
Fish: "
If you don't mind, we're gonna record this.
Is that cool? "
Doc: "
Oh that's cool as hell.
Hell yeah, 52's biggest dream man.
You know his biggest dream was, me and him go party withyou."
On the trail of torn out twisters two angels on a mission camedust devils danced before them in the path of the hurricane.
On the road to
Oklahoma through the flatlands from
L.
A.from the shadows in the valley from a country where thelizards play.
While they drove they kept the radio on, why don't yousingalong,singalong, singalong.
Chorus:
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
I don't think so.
A man stands behind his shadow, a man stands behind his words.
These men are together with family to defend their rights in anotherman's world.
Most people stood against them, most people disagreedwith the need for all those weapons in our safe, secure society.
Paint the words and the pictures on another man's skin
We are lovers, warriors, magician kings.
Chorus:
Brother 52
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
I
Don't think so
Doc: "
F***ing brilliant man.
OK.
Here's what happened,52 barred the door shut from the inside.
A gunfight started on the frontporch.52 shot back.
You know...they come into his home with it, so he'sprotecting himself.
The guy inside the house blew his brains out.
Yeah they made it looklike he killed himself.
But, no one believes he would, coz he's not that kind of man.
That's all,
I think, he wasn't afraid of death.
You know, if he believed in something to die for, that's what he did."
Some say he had it coming, others say he was sole to blamebut who says they've got the rights if any at all to blow the brothersaway.
A man got a right to wonder, a man got a right to dream,without looking over his shoulder to choose the mannerof the life he leads.
One man's thoughts on another man's skin
We are lovers, warriors, magician kings.
Chorus:
Brother 52
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
Well
I don't think so
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
We don't think so
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Brother 52
I
Don't think so
Doc: "
What they have done, was they've come in and murdered him,for his bombs, his ammunition.
Just like
Waco
Texas or any of theseother things,over here in the
United
States.
Anybody that's stockpilling arms andamunitions,is a threat to the government.
So the
Government wages war against us.
They tortured him, he went out,
I am sure he stood up like he wassupposed to you know.
They smashed all the rings shut on his fingers, with a hammer.
It was all an orchestrated plan man.
The more, the closer
I was gettingto the truth,the more they got everybody looking at me as being the guy that pulledthe trigger.
And what they did when they killed 52, is they broke the whole famillyup.
That's exactly what they wanted to do,they wanted to break all of us up."
