My brother, Jake
Hat, shades
Head in a daze
My brother, Jake
Have you thought about
Changin' your ways?

He goes out
He don't have no doubt
He don't have to know
What the world's about

My brother Jake
Head, down
It's a scrape in the ground
Jake, stay away
You know you can always be down

He goes out
He don't have no doubt
He don't have to know
What the world's about

I said, "Jake
Now won't you wait
What's got into you
Your candle is burning
The wheels are turning
What you gonna do?"

My brother, Jake
Won't you start again
Try makin' some friends
Jake, it's not too late
To start again, by making no mends

He goes out
He don't have no doubt
He don't have to know
What the world's about

I said, "Jake
Now won't you wait
What's gone wrong with you
Your candle is burning
The wheels are turning
What you gonna do?"

I said, "Jake,
Don't you wait
What's gone wrong with you
Your candle is burning
The wheels of time are turning
Uh! What you gonna do?"

I said, "Jake, jake, jake
Don't you wait, wait, wait
What's got into you
Your candle is burning
The wheels of time are turning
Uh! What you gonna do?"

Listen, I'm gonna break you, Jake
Because you got what it takes
To give a whole lotta people
Some soul
