Sympathy
© 2007 music Aebi, Fonje lyrics Fonje / GMF - Grand Mother’s Funck
Yes it’s true what they say about me, but I don’t mind - he don’t mind!
This black man over there with the short hair is a friend of mine
I know that he looks different, and you can’t trust him, as you’ve been told
But that’s you - that’s you! - not me - not me! - `cause where I’m from - we say
Chorus
I got two, I got two hands
I got a thing for sympathy
If I can lend a hand you know you can count on me so,
If your load is heavy you know we can share it - uh give yours, I give mine
Please don’t bother me with all the shit you say, `cause I can’t take it - he can’t take it -
I was brought up the other way - tell me how!
Say, back in the day - way back, when -
I used to play - with my friends
It never mattered, never cared about the skin they’re in -
We used to say
Chorus
horn solo
The Sermon
Fellas - yeah!
Are you with me - hell yeah!
What am I talking about - talking 'bout sympathy
Fellas - yeah!
Do you understand? - yeah man, we understand you man, what you miss is sympathy
Say what? - sympathy
Listen up brothers can’t you see, it’s sympathy we need
Listen up brothers can’t you see, it’s sympathy we need
Brothers - brother - can you? - we can... understand - what do i mean? - what you miss is sympathy
Brothers - brother - do you? - we do - get the message? - message must be that we need more sympathy \
