Trouble Every Day Lyrics

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

So I'm watchin' and a-waitin'
And a-hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Everytime I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Wednesday I watched the riot
I seen the cops out on the street
I watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff
And chokin' in the heat
I listened to the reports
About the whisky passin' 'round
I seen the smoke and fire
Of a market burnin' down
I watched while everybody
On the street would take his turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn

So I'm watchin' and a-waitin'
And a-hopin' for the best
