Trouble Every Day

(Album: Does Humor Belong In Music? - 1986)

(It's a boy in a muumuu)

Well I'm about to get sick
From watching MTV
I been checking out the HO HO HO!
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten group
(Right you are, girl)
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Will probably make you stoop, I don't know

So I'm watching and I'm waiting
Hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear them saying
(Oh no!)
There's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day
There's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day

Wednesday I watched the riot
I seen those cops out on the street
I watched 'em throwing rocks and stuff
And choking in the heat
I listened to reports
(Oh, we gotta...)
'Bout the whisky passing around
(Sho' nuff... don'tcha!)
I seen the smoke and fire
And the market burning down
Watched while everybody
On his street would HA HA HA!
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn

And I'm watching and I'm waiting
Hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear 'em saying
(Oh no!)
There's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day
There's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day

I'm watching and I'm waiting
Hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear 'em saying
(Oh no!)
