Brothers and Sisters
Blur Lyrics
Brothers and sisters
Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight
A cartoon in a ketamine
Jelly mixed with margarine
White doves from the war machine
Everybody moving'
Codeine for the jurors
Caffeine been through all of us
Everybody horny
Crackwhores back in town again
Eggships sniffing benelyn
Burning all the oil again
Smoking makes you holy
Textin abbreviates the brain
Aspirin takes away the pain
Rock on, everyone the same
That's the way it is
Brothers and sisters
Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight
Rohypnol like a chloroform
Sugar from the day you are born
Washed out like a dinosaur
Really don't believe it
Sticky sniffing superglue
Sulphates keeps you in a zoo
Monkeys turning into you
Everybody horny
Acid good up on the moors
Gimpo stops you getting bored
Beta's busy making laws
Procaine stops you screaming
Librium for anxiety
Drinking is our society
Guessing out of eternity
That's the way it is
That's the way it is even when we're pissed
Yeah, that's the way it is, that's the way it is
Brothers and sisters
Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight

Blur is an alternative rock band which formed in Colchester, England in 1989. The band consists of Damon Albarn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Graham Coxon (guitar, vocals), Alex James (bass) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and Shoegazing and spawned their first UK Top 10 single, There's No Other Way. Following a stylistic change in 1992 (influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks Read Full BioBlur is an alternative rock band which formed in Colchester, England in 1989. The band consists of Damon Albarn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Graham Coxon (guitar, vocals), Alex James (bass) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and Shoegazing and spawned their first UK Top 10 single, There's No Other Way. Following a stylistic change in 1992 (influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles, The Animals and XTC) Blur released "Popscene" as a stand alone single, this was a commercial flop, but was widely considered to be a crucial turning point for the band's style. Following this, Blur released 3 studio albums in a similar style: Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993), Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995). As a result, the band helped to popularise the Britpop genre and achieved mass popularity in the UK, aided by a famous chart battle with rival band Oasis dubbed "The Battle of Britpop".
By the late 1990s, with the release of Blur (1997), the band underwent another reinvention, influenced by the lo-fi style of American indie rock bands such as Pavement; in the process, Blur finally gained mainstream success in the US with the single, "Song 2". The last album featuring the band's original lineup, 13 (1999) found Blur experimenting with electronic music and gospel music, as Albarn wrote more personal lyrics. In May 2002, Coxon left Blur during the recording of their seventh album Think Tank (2003). Containing electronic sounds and simpler guitar playing, the album was marked by Albarn's growing interest in hip-hop and African music.
In December 2008, Blur announced that they would be reforming for the first time since their hiatus in 2003, complete with Graham Coxon, for a UK Tour in 2009. Blur headlined the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, Glastonbury and the T in the Park Festival in the UK, as well as Dates in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Southend and Wolverhampton. The band continues to be sporadically active, releasing the single "Fool's Day" and the documentary "No Distance Left to Run" in 2010, and performing several concerts in 2012. Two new songs, "Under the Westway" and "The Puritan", were released in 2012 leading up to a post-Olympics concert which also features New Order, The Specials and Bombay Bicycle Club. In 2015, Blur released The Magic Whip.
they're amazing.

Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight
A cartoon in a ketamine
Jelly mixed with margarine
White doves from the war machine
Every body movin
Cocaine is for murderers
Codeine for the jurors
Caffeine been through all of us
Everybody horney
Crackwhores back in town again
Eggships sniffing benelyn
Burning all the oil again
Smoking makes you holy
Textin abbreviates the brain
Aspirin takes away the pain
Rock on, everyone the same
That's the way it is
Brothers and sisters
Rebuild your lives
We're all drug takers
Give us something tonight
Rohypnol like a chloroform
Sugar from the day you are born
Washed out like a dinosaur
Really don't believe it.
Sticky sniffing superglue
sulphates keeps you in a zoo
Monkeys turning into you
Everybody horney
Acid good up on the moors
Gimpo stops you getting bored
Beta's busy making laws
Procaine stops your screaming
Librium for anxiety
Drinking is our society
Guessing out of tirety
That's the way it is
that's the way it is even when we're pissed

Although everyone seems to hate Crazy Beat, it's not my favourite song, but I don't hate it...

This entire album just sounds like a bridge between the Gorillaz self titled album and Demon Days with that Blur flare in it, it's honestly pretty cool and it has some really fucking great ideas in it that couldn't be better fleshed out, although Crazy Beat sucks and I dont care what you say
Big Slappy
Say what you will about Crazy Beat, at least it’s not Moroccan Peoples Revolutionary Bowls Club.
Rocío Molina
@psychedelicpiper you made me happy by saying that
psychedelicpiper
@Rocío Molina Graham played on the last track of the album, and on a few B-sides that I said should have been included on this album. I’ve only been a fan of this album for like 13 years....
Rocío Molina
@psychedelicpiper graham didn't play on this album, read the description
Nour Sarhan
Yeah you're totally on point, and it's such a shame because this gorgeous album starts pretty gracefully and then there's Crazy Beat which ruins the whole vibe. They had way better b-sides that could've replaced it, but I guess that another (failed) Song 2 was needed for commercial purposes 🤷🏻♀️
K-leb
This is such a cool song. Think Tank rocks despite Graham's absence.
