"They Don't Know" lyrics - THE IMPRESSIONS

Another friend has gone
And I feel so insecure
Brother if you feel this way
You're not by yourself

We have lost another leader
Lord how much must we endure
If you feel this way
You're not by yourself

Funny they think
We have no-one to lead us
That then we've lost the fight
And in the night no-one can breed us

But they don't know
Every brother is leader
And they don't know every sister is a breeder

And our love you see
Is gonna help the world be free
We're gonna move at a steady pace
Keep every brother on the case

They don't know
To help us is to help themselves
We cannot let our people be
Until we're all out of poverty

And never think, we have no-one to lead us
Don't think we've lost the fight
And in the night no-one can breed us

For they don't know
Every brother is leader,
And they don't know every sister is a breeder

They don't know, they don't know
They don't know, they don't know
They don't know, they don't know
They don't know, they don't know

We've got love you see
And make note of the information
Don't matter about the operation
We shall control the situation

They don't know
To help us is to help themselves
We cannot let our people be
Until we're all out of poverty

And never think, we have no-one to lead us
Don't think we've lost the fight
And in the night no-one can breed us

But they don't know
Every brother is leader,
And they don't know every sister is a breeder

And our love you see
Is gonna help the world be free
We're gonna move at a steady pace
Keep every brother on the case

They don't know
They don't know
They don't know
They don't know, oh child
They don't know
They don't know, have mercy now
They don't know, they don't know
