Текст песни Be First! (Joel R.L. Phelps & The Downer Trio) с переводом

Brother don’t do what your brother done

By stealing from his shadows

The lightening and the sun

You take it all so hard

So beautiful and strange

And when at last the bell

Was you were standing up

Brother there’s no need to stare me down

Or take me off the window

Or off the ropes

I’m bound for glory of a kind

And say it for those who call

I kind of also ran

This you will never be

You wanted to be first

To place a face upon the name

And you wanted to be first

And you were

Brother don’t go where your brother’s gone

I shook hands with the killers

And sifted all the bones

To see what kind of coward

Was bought and bought and sold

And came in underweight

And wasn’t worth the skin that I stole

My brother from accident and error

And poetry of muscle

Of broken limbs and care

You took it all so hard

You took it all inside

And left it on the page

But you were standing up

You wanted to be first

Not for the father or the fame

And you wanted to be first

And you were
