| So much trouble in the world | |
| I can't watch or read the news | |
| It brings me down so bad baby | |
| When I read the daily blues | |
| So much heartache in the world | |
| All the sickness and the war | |
| Keep my head down in the sand | |
| 'Cause I just can't take no more | |
| I'm talking 'bout trouble | |
| Too many reasons for the blues | |
| I'm talking trouble | |
| It's time we had some better news | |
| So much fighting in the world | |
| God and country leads to war | |
| They say we fight for peace | |
| But I just can't take no more | |
| So much killing in the world | |
| Terrorist victims by the score | |
| So much trouble in the world, baby | |
| But I just can't take no more | |
| I'm talking 'bout trouble | |
| Too many reasons for the blues | |
| I'm talking trouble | |
| It's time we had some better news | |
| I'm talking 'bout trouble | |
| Too many reasons for the blues | |
| I'm talking trouble | |
| It's time we had some better news, yeah |
