Lyrics

VERSE
Brother September here we are again
Out in the yard with all of these other men
Do you remember I said pray for me
Pray for peace or some kind of unity
I know I can't change your mind of my crimes
But I know, know that I was justified
You say that you hear me but you're not listening

Brother September what would Robin think
Of her island, would she want it to sink
She hears all the whispers of downtrodden men
And all the screams of those with insecurities
I don't have to change her mind of my crimes
She knows, knows that I was justified
You say that you hear me but you're not listening

CHORUS
And Eddie stole The Times
And left an empty briefcase escorting you home
More than 20 years gone by
And I'm still in the fight, yeah, but I'm not alone

VERSE
Brother September now what would you say
Did the election turn out to your dismay
Did you feel the embers turn into a flame
A wild fire with others like you to blame
I think you've changed your mind with the times
Now you know, know that I was justified
Now you can't help yourself from listening

CHORUS

I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

And Eddie stole The Times
And left an empty briefcase escorting you home

Escorting you home
Escorting you home
