Funk'n'circumstance Lyrics - Singles - Jones Keziah

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!
