Sorry Mi Brethren
Beres Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't come out tonight.
I know that the game is playing,
Still I can't escape tonight.
She promised me a world I've never known,
Make myself ready to journey into the unknown.
She promised me ecstacy, said it with sincerity.
Oh so secretly.
So even if I wanted to,
I've got homework to do.
So fellows, don't wait for me,
This is where I must be.
Sorry mi little brethren, it's raining,
And I can't come out tonight.
I know that the game is playing,
Still I can't escape tonight.
Don't even wonder,
About who makes up the rules.
This is not a case of who,
Is the one in control.
She's all about comforting,
And I need the pampering.
So brothers, don't wait for me,
This is where I must be,
Her arms are my playground,
In there I'm safe and sound.
Think I've made the right choice,
Stay home in paradise.
Sorry mi little brethren, it's raining,
And I can't come out tonight.
I know that the game is playing,
Still I can't escape tonight.
