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
|

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

Pray tell what's gonna happen to brother

Who's gonna help him get further

|

|
Going out a-working for half of what he's worth now

|
