He's got a head like a brick, dead set in his ways
Sticks and stones couldn't lead that horse to water
He only hears what he wants, only thinks of himself
Mama said damn that boy's just like his father
And he's doing time on a bed made of stone
No rest for the weary, no more wishful thinking
He can't go
No home, no starting over again
Life's just one long fight he can't win
Until he learns how to be
He's got a short, short fuse
Better not set him off
When he thinks he's right, he'd swear in front of Jesus
He's got a head like a brick, dead set in his ways

Sticks and stones couldn't lead that horse to water
Sticks and stones couldn't lead that horse to water
He's got a head like a brick, dead set in his ways
Mama said damn that boy's just like his father
And he's doing time on a bed made of stone
No rest for the weary, no more wishful thinking
He can't go
No home, no starting over again
Life's just one long fight he can't win
Until he learns how to bend
Until he learns how to bend
Brother, give in
Brother, give it up
Brother, let go
You ain't strong enough, no
We all need help once in a while
Wake up, you're living in denial
You've done your time
On a bed made of stone
But it's not too late
To change the way you're thinking
For you
For you
Fall down on your knees
Be born again and again
Life's just one long fight you can't win
Until you learn how to bend
Until you learn how to bend
Brother, be
Brother, be good
Brother, be
Brother, be good
Brother, be good
