Trouble Everyday

(album: Rockin' My Life Away - 1997)

Well I'm about to get upset
Watching my TV
Checking out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
There's just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friends
Is anybody's guess

So I'm watching and I'm waiting
Hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear 'em saying
That there's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day
No way to delay
That trouble coming every day

Wednesday I watched the riot
I seen the cops out on the street
Watched 'em throwing rocks and stuff
And choking in the heat
Listened to reports
About the crack that's going round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burning down
Watched while everybody
On your street would take a turn
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
That there's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day
No way to delay
That trouble coming every day

Well you can cool it,
You can heat it
'Cause, baby, I don't need it
Take your TV tube and eat it
And all that phony stuff on sports
And all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head began to hurt
From checking out the way
The newsmen say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so
Can further their research
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can't be beat

And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a brownie
And we'll see it all complete

So I'm watching and I'm waiting
Hoping for the best
Even think I'll go to praying
Every time I hear 'em saying
That there's no way to delay
That trouble coming every day
No way to delay
That trouble coming every day
No way to delay
That trouble coming everyday
No way to delay
That trouble everyday
Yeah, it just makes me wanna play the blues
