Brother’s Gonna Work It Out

Lyrics

[Intro: Dialogue] "You really don't understand, do you? Hey, man, don't you realize, in order for us to make this thing work, man We've got to get rid of the pimps and the pushers and the prostitutes And then start all over again clean?" "Hey, look nobody's pushing me anywhere, okay? I mean – not you, not the cops, nobody now I mean, you wanna get rid of the pushers, I'll help you But, don't send your people after me" "Oh, come on, John Can't you see that we can't get rid of one without getting rid of the other? We've gotta come down on both of 'em at the same time In order for this whole thing to work for the people." "Hey, look – nobody's closing me out of my business." [Intro] Ooh ooh ooh ooh, oohhh... oooh... Ooh ooh ooh ooh, oohhh... My brother's gonna work it out... My brother's gonna work it out...

[Verse 1] Now don't give him no peace sign If you don't mean it from your heart United, we can get over But yet, we're still apart 'Cause each man demands respect And to get an equal share And until you're givin' him that There'll be no peace... [Chorus] Brother's gonna work it out (Brother's gonna work it out) Brother's gonna work it all out (Brother's gonna work it out) [Post-Chorus] Ah – we must all join hands (Brother's gonna work it out) We can march across this land in peace (Brother's gonna work it out) Love, joy, with that understanding (Brother's gonna work it out) Of truly who we are [Verse 2] Instead of brother turning on sister Sister turning on brother Now, how you gonna get it together Being against one another? Shoot-ups, live up so high 'Til your world has turned to stone How you can you deal with the truth When reality's all gone? [Chorus] Well, brother's gonna work it out (Brother's gonna work it out) Brother's gonna work it on out (Brother's gonna work it out) [Verse 3] Ah, brothers – sing Stop the pimps, the hustler, the pusher man As fast you can Open your ears and eyes to the facts Of what's truly holding you back [Pre-Chorus] Oooh-oo-hoo-oooh...
