While pursuing a major record label to sign to, the group’s manager and friend Phil Harvey released a demo tape to various labels that included two songs: “Ode to Deodorant” and “Brothers + Sisters”.

[Verse 1]
Brothers and sisters unite
It's the time of your lives
It's the time of your lives
Breakdown, breakdown
Gotta keep 'em all down
Gotta spread it around
[Verse 2]
Brothers and sisters unite
It's the time of your lives
It's the time of your lives
Breakdown, breakdown
Gotta keep moving around
Gotta keep 'em all down
And stay down
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
Stay 'round
And sometimes I feel
[Post-Chorus]
And it's me they're looking for
And it's me, I will never survive
But we'll be around so long
[Verse 1]
Brothers and sisters unite
For the time of your lives
For the time of your lives
Breakdown, breakdown
They'll say move it around
Got to spread it around
And stay down
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes I feel
Stay 'round
And sometimes I feel
[Post-Chorus]
And it's me they're looking for
And it's me, I will never survive
And I'll be around some long
[Outro]
And it's gonna be alright
And it's gonna be alright
And it's gonna be alright
