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
