They took a southern working man and chained him to a car |
|
Claimed before the judge we didn't pull him very far |
|
Anyway, he looked at us with murder in his glance |
|
We want to make a bargain, and the plea is self defense |
|
Look mother trouble the waters |
|
We've lost our sons and daughters |
|
Blame religion, blame the family |
|
It had to be somebody |
|
Painless violence, daddy's silence |
|
Feed the glamour of drugs and guns |
|
Somebody tell me, you gotta |
|
Who threw the stone to trouble the waters |
|
They took a student farmer and they chained him to a post |
|
And sent their finest greetings with him to the holy ghost |
|
This is a place where men are men and we don't need his kind |
|
We know what he planned for us, we could read his filthy mind |
|
Look mother trouble the waters |
|
We've lost our sons and daughters |
|
Blame religion, blame the family |
|
It had to be somebody |
|
Painless violence, daddy's silence |
|
Feed the glamour of drugs and guns |
|
Somebody tell me, you gotta |
|
Who threw the stone to trouble the waters |
|
They took a box of rifles and they hauled them off to school |
|
Set up like a sniper in that movie that was cool |
|
Someone tripped the fire alarm and panic set about |
|
They looked upon their enemy and calmly took him out |
|
Look mother trouble the waters |
|
We've lost our sons and daughters |
|
Blame religion, blame the family |
|
It had to be somebody |
|
Painless violence, daddy's silence |
|
Feed the glamour of drugs and guns |
|
Somebody tell me, you gotta |
|
Who threw the stone to trouble the waters |
|
Look mother trouble the waters |
|
We've lost our sons and daughters |
|
Blame religion, blame the family |
|
It had to be somebody |
|
Painless violence, daddy's silence |
|
Feed the glamour of drugs and guns |
|
Somebody tell me, you gotta |
|
Who threw the stone to trouble the waters |
|
Who threw the stone that trouble the waters |
|
Who threw that stone |
|
Who threw the stone to trouble the waters |
|
Trouble the waters |
