More Trouble Every Day

(album: Roxy & Elsewhere - 1974)

Well I'm about to get sick
From watching my TV
Been checking out the news
Till my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
(Sure 'nuff!)
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Is anybody's guess (Well!) (Woa!)
So I'm
Watching and I'm a-waiting
I'm hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear 'em saying
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 the cops out on the street
I watched 'em throwing rocks & stuff & choking
In the heat
I listen to reports
'Bout the whisky passing around
I seen the smoke & fire
And the market burning down
I watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp & smash & bash & crash & slash & bust & burn
I'm a-watching and I'm a-waiting
But I'm hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear 'em saying
There's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day
There's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day

Watching and I'm a-waiting
I'm hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear 'em saying, oh, yeah . . .
