Mean Things Done

By Connery

I wonder why big brothers                               

Always staying up late

Being so lazy

Not even coming out to see me and my little brother

Never thinking about family.

I wonder why big brothers

Like to hang their little brothers upside down

Being so careless

Never thinking why they hang their little brothers upside down.

I wonder why big brothers

Like to leave their food on the table

Having to be reminded to put their food up

Never thinking about their chores.

I wonder why big brothers

Like to close their doors

Thinking they need their privacy  

Never thinking about anything else.

I wonder why big brothers

Like to be with their girl friends

Thinking about what they will do together

Never thinking about playing with me.

I wonder why big brothers

Like to go to college

Being so happy

Never wanting to stay home.

I wonder why big brothers

Let their little brothers hug them

Liking me and my brother

Never being mean all the time.
