Bend

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
 Momma said "Damn that boy is 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 home, no starting over again
 Life's just one long fight he can not win
 Until he learns how to bend
 ♪
 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
 Let him lie to your face, like he lies to himself
 The truth is no one's more afraid than he is
 And he's doing time on a bed made of stone
 No rest for the weary, no more wishful thinking
 He can't go home, no starting over again
 Life's just one long fight he can not 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
 Fall down on your knees, be born again and again
 Life's just one long fight you can not win
 Until you learn how to bend
 Until you learn how to bend
 Brother be, brother be good
 Brother be, brother be good
