Somebody Other Than You - David Crosby

I can see the way you are

By far

The worst of the lot

You ought

To spend a day inside

Somebody else’s life

The ones who pay

The ones who die

When you say

Words like honor

Words can often

Frame the game

Shame on me

For thinking I can be

Somebody who is free

Really, actually

While someone else is picking up

The pieces of your broken cup

You see?

Who of us can be free, when it’s

Somebody other

Somebody’s brother

Somebody other

Anyone other than you

Somebody other

Somebody’s brother

Somebody other

Anyone other than you

I can’t feel the way you do

I’m through

Watching you grow fat

Exactly how your father did before

Last war

We felt the pain

We swore to smoke you out

But still you gain

You gain

You gain

It’s insane

Making sure

That things are as before

What have you got in store?

How can you stay above?

Who are you thinking of?

Nobody other

Nobody’s brother

Nobody’s mother

Nobody other than you

Nobody other

Nobody’s brother

Nobody’s mother

Nobody other than you
