Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further? Lyrics - Yes We Can And Then Some - Lee Dorsey

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
