|
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! |
