Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint - Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further lyrics

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 going to happen to brother
Who's going to 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 quit's

Pray tell what's going to happen to brother
Who's going to help him get further
One another, is that the truth?
One another, yeah you're right

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Pray tell what's going to happen to brother
Who's going to help him get further
One another one another

Mama get up early, early in the morning
Papa's already gone (gone, gone gone)
Going out a-working for half of
What he's worth now you know that's wrong
What happen to the Liberty Bell
I heard so much about?
Did it really ding dong? (ding dong)
It must have dinged wrong
It didn't ding long

Pray tell what's going to happen to brother
Who's going to 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 (gone, gone gone)
Going out a-working for half of
What he's worth now
You know that's wrong (oooh)
What happen to the Liberty Bell
I heard so much about?
Did it really ding dong? (ding dong)
It must have dinged wrong
It didn't ding long

Pray tell what's going to happen to brother
Who's going to help him get further
One another, is that the truth?
One another, yeah you're right

Pray tell what's going to happen to brother
Who's going to help him get further
One another, is that the truth?
One another, yeah you're right

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Did it really ding dong? (ding dong)
It must have dinged wrong
Did it really ding dong? (ding dong)
It must have dinged wrong
