Lee Dorsey - Who's Gonna Help a Brother Get Further?

Текст песни

We may seem happy like everything’s alright
But from the outside looking in
Everything’s uptight
But deep down inside we’re covering up the pain
It’s an old thing
It’s a soul thing
But it’s a real thing
Pray tell what’s gonna happen to brother
Who’s gonna help him get further
One another
One another
There’s old dude standing on the corner
Waiting for a fox to pass
The only thing he’s got to go by
Is this is where he saw her last
And there’s old John, two dollars in his pocket
Talking loud and thinks he’s rich
And look for little fool, too cool to go to school
Get a job, in two days he quits
Pray tell what’s gonna happen to brother
Who’s gonna help him get further
One another
Is that the truth?
One another
Yeah, you’re right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pray tell what’s gonna happen to brother
Who’s gonna help him get further
One another
One another
Mama get up early, early in the morning
Papa’s already gone
Going out a-working for half of what he’s worth now
You know that it’s wrong
What happen to the Liberty Bell I heard so much about?
Did it really ding-dong?
It must have dinged wrong
It didn’t ding long
Pray tell what’s gonna happen to brother
Who’s gonna help him get further
One another
Is that the truth?
One another
Yeah, you’re right
Mama get up early, early in the morning
Papa’s already gone
Working two jobs for half of what he’s worth now
You know that it’s wrong
What happen to the Liberty Bell I heard so much about?
Did it really ding-dong?
It must have dinged wrong
It didn’t ding long
Pray tell what’s gonna happen to brother
Who’s gonna help him get further
One another
Is that the truth?
One another
Yeah, you’re right
