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!
