Lyrics
We may seem happy like everything's alright
From the outside looking in everything's uptight
But deep down inside we're covering up the pain
'Cause 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 (Yeah, you're right)
One another (Um hmm)
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 think he's rich
And look that 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, yeah (Hey, yeah)
Now who's gonna help brother get further?
Now I find I'm inclined to believe one another, yeah
Ah, play it Sam
Now looka here
Mama get up early, early in the morning, Papa's already gone
Gone out a-slaving for half of what he's worth now, you know that's wrong
What happened to the Liberty Bell I heard so much about?
Did it really ding dong? (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)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Hey, yeah)
