Allen Gray & Payson Lewis – Tell Them Something Lyrics

Tell Them Something Lyrics

JIMMY McDONALD, sung
Listen here, brethren
Progress waits for no man
Whether you sit, stand, or ?
With body and soul, tell them

JIMMY, spoken
Somethin?

JIMMY, sung
We gotta’ take action, move your feet
Put one shoe in front of the other
With each step we’ll get a little further

Gain traction ’till we’re free
Why just move while standing still
Walking while we run uphill

Whether you sit
Tell them something
Whether you stand, mmm
Tell them something
Whether you ?
Tell them something
Somethin’s better than nothing
You better tell them somethin’

Let’s get travelin’ to the South
Segregation waiting there
Straight into the demon’s lair

We have unknown
That we deserve to live
We can no longer be happy
With what they give

Whether you sit

ENSEMBLE, JIMMY
Tell them something

JIMMY
Whether you stand, come on

ENSEMBLE, JIMMY
Tell them something

JIMMY
Whether you unknown

ENSEMBLE ONLY
Tell them something

JIMMY
Tell them

ENSEMBLE, JIMMY
Something’s better than nothing

JIMMY
You better tell them
