eric burdon – the way it should be lyrics

i don’t understand what you do,
i don’t even know how you live.
you think that i’m better than you,
i think that it’s better to give.
you want me to tell you the truth,

you want me to reason and wait my turn.
i haven’t the nerve to say no,
i guess i deserve the burn you gave me.
can’t show my eyes, i don’t want to know,
i haven’t the time to go any slower.
i don’t understand how you live
spoken:
and i don’t even care if you’re not my brother!
