Well I'm about to get sick |
|
From watchin' my TV |
|
Been checkin' out the news |
|
Till my eyeballs fail to see |
|
I mean to say that every day |
|
Is just another rotten mess |
|
And when it's gonna change, my friend |
|
Is anybody's guess, so I'm |
|
Watchin' and I'm waitin' |
|
Hopin' for the best |
|
Even think I'll go to prayin' |
|
Every time I hear 'em sayin' |
|
There's no way to delay |
|
That trouble comin' every day |
|
No way to delay the trouble |
|
Comin' every day |
|
Wednesday I watched the riot |
|
Seen the cops out on the street |
|
Watched 'em throwin' rocks & stuff & chokin' |
|
In the heat |
|
Listen to reports |
|
About the whisky passin' 'round |
|
Seen the smoke & fire |
|
And the market burnin' down |
|
Watched while everybody |
|
On his street would take a turn |
|
To stomp & smash & bash & crash & slash & |
|
bust & burn |
|
And I'm |
|
Watchin' and I'm waitin' |
|
Hopin' for the best |
|
Even think I'll go to prayin' |
|
Every time I hear 'em sayin' that there's |
|
No way to delay |
|
That trouble comin' every day |
|
No way to delay |
|
That trouble comin' every day |
