Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further Lyrics


We may seem happy
Like everything's alright
But from the outside lookin' in
Everything's uptightBut deep down inside
We're coverin' up the pain
It's an old thing, it's a soul thing
But it's a real thingPray tell, what's gonna happen to brother?
Who's gonna help him get further?
One another
One anotherThere'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 lastAnd 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 quitsPray 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 rightPray tell, what's gonna happen to brother?
Who's gonna help him get further?
One another
One anotherMama 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 wrongWhat 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 longPray 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 rightMama 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 wrongWhat 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 longPray 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 rightPray 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 rightDid it really ding-dong?
(Ding-dong)
It didn't ding longDid it really ding-dong?
(Ding-dong)
It didn't ding long
