Sly & The Family Stone

I Don't Know (Satisfaction)

All we need is little action

If it's only but a fraction

All we need is little action

If it's only but a fraction

People to see, even me

Man with a little got more of a plea

He's cryin'

I don't know

Time at last, laws to pass

Can't be a few got to be a mass

A-tryin'

Got to go

Bigger crowd, feelin' proud

And all of a sudden I'm singin' loud

Applyin'

Oh, what I know

Feel the game, not a pain

Ain't nobody in a strain

Defyin'

Oh, 'cause they know

All we need is little action

If it's only but a fraction

All we need is little action

If it's only but a fraction

Now I know what to do

No more sellin' me to you

Buyin'

That's a no-no-no

Mother wit is what you get

Tryin' to have the most of it

Am I livin'?

I don't know

Ask yourself how you feel

Are you really feelin' real?

What you say?

I don't know

All we need is little action

If it's only but a fraction

All we need is little action

If it's only but a fraction

I see abuse, what's the use?

Time must let my people loose

Cos we tryin'

I don't know

Much to learn, a place to turn

When there's nothin' else to burn

Replyin'

Oh, I think I know

Nothin' in the way, but another day

And we're gonna push it on out the way

'Cause we're doin'

Oh, what we know

All we need is little action (What I say)

If it's only but a fraction (I don't know)

All we need is little action (What you say)

If it's only but a fraction (You don't know)

All we need is little action (What I say)

If it's only but a fraction (Oh, we don't know)

All we need is little action (What I say, we don't

know)

If it's only but a fraction
