It just so happens I´ve many conerns
My brother´s down the road & my lover in town
They both need affection
And some kind of love
Well I am the one who gives it at any given time
From two in the morning to six
Call me up & cry
My lover keeps it secret that we meet under covers
When asked by her man if we two are lovers
She says, "I hardly know him.
Besides, he has not my type."
Her man´s a policeman with a keen sense of trouble
He has known just by danger
And all kinds of liars
Brother called this morning in a terrible panic
Spies in the closet, bugs in the attic
He screams bloody murder saying,
"We are all going to die.
Death is upon me, I know ´cause he showed me
Pictures of graveyards & us underneath."
I am losing my hearing from my brother screaming,
"They are coming to get me and
Someone call the police."
Two in the morning, the phone disconnected
Her man knows I am calling, it is what I expected
A note on my backdoor saying, "Baby not tonight."
So I sit with my brother who is nursing a cut wrist
He has mumbling "Forgive me."
And "Don´t let them take me away."
I can be a good boy & stay out of trouble
Jackie I love you &
Don´t let them take your brother
Strapped to a table, go in electrodes
"Jackie come save me the doctors will kill me."
"No, they are here to help you
Straighten out your mind."
The TV is blaring with some preacher saying that
God is among us & he hears our cries
Lord, do me a favor
It is wrong but I ask you
Take my brother´s life
´Cause he has sick of the suffering
The pills he has inhaling
The cross he is bearing
That´s his trouble mind
