Keziah Jones - Funk 'N' Circumstance lyrics

Oh, check me over Get this feeling pulling me under How can a country ask for more? But I can't refuse Everybody knows I got this hunger Everybody goes along with the flake Nobody knows why there's thunder Nobody knows the rest of the cake Oh brother The skin you're in has got a new friend Got a new language got a new trend Oh brother Now your hero's sitting in vogue Got a new a language got a new logo You just got to say : Funk 'N' Circumstance When the money talks the skin will dance Any kind of funk will do Play your circumstancial blues Now let me get this straight Is it the pot calling the kettle black? Or the black calling the pot a what A "nigger"? A "nigger"! Oh check me over I got to realize another She got this feeling for y'all to see She started squeezing my history Oh brother, sister If you open your eyes you'll never see her She took my flag and kissed my woe She gave birth to all my sorrow Oh brother The skin you're in has got a new friend Got a new language got a new trend Oh mother Now your son is sitting in jail Got a new a language got a new logo You just got to say : Funk 'N' Circumstance When the money talks the skin will dance Any kind of funk will do Play your circumstancial blues "My country 'tis of thee..." Brother, sister!
