lyrics
O brother, O brother,
The war is over.
They dropped the bomb
and now your home
is dead, it's gone
it is no more.
Wake up into postwar,
beaten to the core.
Got my eyes sore,
me and many more.
The people have lost.
People lost the war.
The people have lost the war
O KO brother worry not,
worry not for war has stopped.
No more bad dreams about the bomb
and volcano ash up in your nose.
O brother, O brother,
did you find your lover?
Was she alive?
Was she in the fight?
Or did she fall
deep in the ice?
Wake up into postwar,
beaten to the core.
Got my eyes sore,
me and many more.
The people have lost.
People lost the war.
The people have lost the war,
so, then, who won?
The war is over.
They dropped the bomb
and now your home
is dead, it's gone
it is no more.
Wake up into postwar,
beaten to the core.
Got my eyes sore,
me and many more.
The people have lost.
People lost the war.
The people have lost the war
O KO brother worry not,
worry not for war has stopped.
No more bad dreams about the bomb
and volcano ash up in your nose.
O brother, O brother,
did you find your lover?
Was she alive?
Was she in the fight?
Or did she fall
deep in the ice?
Wake up into postwar,
beaten to the core.
Got my eyes sore,
me and many more.
The people have lost.
People lost the war.
The people have lost the war,
so, then, who won?

BasketCases
The term originated from WWI, indicating a soldier missing both his arms and legs, who needed to be literally carried around in a litter or "basket."
