Five brothers dream of different lives

They travelled north until the snow arrived

But how on earth do you begin

When you know you can't win?

They say that money doesn't change a thing

But you can bet that they're not suffering

When you're on the lowest rung

You're gonna get stung

The hero didn't do exactly what I wanted him to do

Maybe that's why the story rings true

The great migration to end suffering

It would be easier to say nothing

But when you flee the empty nest

You leave the land you know best

He wore a crisp, white shirt just for a day

To woo a lover on a getaway

But he couldn't hide his dirty neck

(from the toil and the sweat)

The hero didn't do exactly what I wanted him to do

Maybe that's why the story rings true

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

Compromise is not a sin, but you better not make a habit of it

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

The hero didn't do exactly what I wanted him to do

Maybe that's why the story rings true

The hero didn't do exactly what I wanted him to do

Though maybe that's why the story rings true

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

Compromise is not a sin, but you better not make a habit of it

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it

Compromise is not a sin, but you better not make a habit of it

Sometimes you have to give in, but you better not make a habit of it
