Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind, but many ships have ruled the seas
They built the Eiffle Tower to stand alone, but they could build another if they'd please
Taj Mahal, the Pyramids of Egypt are unique I suppose
When they built you brother, they broke the mold
Now the world is filled with many 'ew wonders under the passin' sun
but sometimes somethin' comes along and you know it's for sure the only one
The Mona Lisa, the David, the Sistine Chapel, Jesus, Mary and Joe
And when they built you brother, they broke the mold
When they built you brother, they turned dust into gold
When they built you brother, they broke the mold
They say you can't take it with you, but I think that their wrong
'Cause all I know is I woke up this morning and somethin' big was gone
Gone into that dark ether where your still young and hard and cold
Just like when they built you brother, they broke the mold
Now your death is upon us and we'll return your ashes to the earth
And I know you'll take comfort in knowin' you'd been roundly blessed and cursed
But love is a power greater than death, just like the songs and stories told
And when she built you brother, she broke the mold
Bad attitude is a power stronger than death
Oh, I've been burnin' her stone cold
When they built you brother
