Bad Water

(アルバム： Love In The Hot Afternoon - 1975)

I got troubles, you got troubles
All God's children got troubles
Living in bad water, (bad water)
(Trying to roll all over me)
(Bad water, bad water ooh)
(Tell me why won't you set me free)

You know I'm trying to make it
But it's so hard to take it
I don't mind telling you
Well, I don't mind telling you
Taxes are overrated
My money's disintegrated
And, right now, I'm just going through
Nothing but, bad water, bad water
Trying to roll all over me, ooh
(Bad water, bad water ooh)
Tell me why won't you set me free

I need some consolation
To ease my situation
You know, the confusion just won't stop
I find myself alone
With the shoes that I have on
I'm all wet, from bottom to top
I'm walking through, bad water, (bad water)
Trying to roll all over me, help me
(Bad water, bad water ooh)
Tell me why won't you set me free

We started this decision
To find a quick prevention
Why don't y'all lend a helping hand
Instead of shouting and screaming
Let's plan instead of dreaming
So the world will understand
Oh, stop with this bad water, (bad water)
Trying to roll all over me, I'll fix it
(Bad water, bad water ooh)
Tell me why won't you set me free
Oh, let's stop and fish
(Bad water, bad water)
