Keziah Jones - Funk 'N' Circumstance Lyrics
Oh, check me overGet this feeling pulling me underHow can a country ask for more?But I can't refuseEverybody knows I got this hungerEverybody goes along with the flakeNobody knows why there's thunderNobody knows the rest of the cakeOh brotherThe skin you're in has got a new friendGot a new language got a new trendOh brotherNow your hero's sitting in vogueGot a new a language got a new logoYou just got to say :Funk 'N' CircumstanceWhen the money talks the skin will danceAny kind of funk will doPlay your circumstancial bluesNow let me get this straightIs it the pot calling the kettle black?Or the black calling the pot a whatA "nigger"? A "nigger"!Oh check me overI got to realize anotherShe got this feeling for y'all to seeShe started squeezing my historyOh brother, sisterIf you open your eyes you'll never see herShe took my flag and kissed my woeShe gave birth to all my sorrowOh brotherThe skin you're in has got a new friendGot a new language got a new trendOh motherNow your son is sitting in jailGot a new a language got a new logoYou just got to say :Funk 'N' CircumstanceWhen the money talks the skin will danceAny kind of funk will doPlay your circumstancial blues"My country 'tis of thee..."Brother, sister
