(NOW Explosion - Summer 1970)
"Tell It All Brother" was also the title of The First Edition's sixth album.
"We All Got to Help Each Other" from the album is similar in theme.
Alex Harvey wrote "Tell It All Brother" and several other songs The First Edition recorded.
♫"Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all
How much you're holding back on me
When you say you're giving all?
And in the dungeons of your mind
Who you got chained to the wall?
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it ah-ah-aal
Did you plant your feet on higher ground
To avoid lifes mud and stone?
Did you ever kick a good man
When he was down, just to make yourself feel strong?
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothes and sisters
Tell it ah-ah-aal
Tomorrow just might be too late
Now is the time
To get your jumbled mind straight
And seek a new design
Did you ever walk before a crippled man
Pretending you were lame?
And what made you think one feeble hand to God
Was gonna make him call your name?
Tell it all brother and sisters
Tell, Tell it all
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters, tell
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell... it... all "♫
