Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further? [With Allen Toussaint] Letra

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 It's an old thing It's a soul thing But it's areal thing Pray tell what's gonna happen to brother Who's gonna help him get further 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 I 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 Chorus Pray tell what's gonna happen to brother Who's gonna help him get further One another Is that the truth? Yeah, you're right Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Mama get up early, early in the morning Papa's already gone Going out working for half of what he's worth now You know that it's wrong What happened to the Liberty Bell heard so much about? Did it really ding-dong? It must have dinged wrong It didn't ding long Chorus Repeat 3rd verse Chorus Yeah, yeah ... Did it really ding-dong? It didn't ding long
