Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further

We may seem happy
Like everything’s alright
But from the outside lookin' in
Everything’s uptight
But deep down inside
We’re coverin' 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 a old dude standin' 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
Talkin' 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
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 mornin'
Papa’s already gone
(Gone and gone and gone)
Goin' out a-working for half of what he’s worth now
You know that’s so wrong
What happen 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
Mama get up early, early in the mornin'
Papa’s already gone
(Gone and gone and gone)
Goin' out a-working for half of what he’s worth now
You know that is wrong
What happen 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
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
Did it really ding-dong?
(Ding-dong)
It didn’t ding long
Did it really ding-dong?
(Ding-dong)
It didn’t ding long
