Brother Bruce Tell Me This

How can I say
the truth, no way!
Suffering and smiling,
Mentality is what i milling
and the help hand heralds rumor
Let someone ask me why i murmur
Ben Bruce tell me this, is it hypocrisy?
Why not tell the house this is not democracy.
Why donate you this prank, this peg for a plate,
Why can’t it be upon a time in this our slave slate?
They say Harry d’Bull is a God’s good man, let him
know that it is still dusk is still dark, dusty and more dim
