Well I'm about to get upset Watchin' my TV Checkin' 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 watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day
Wednesday I watched the riot I seen the cops out on the street Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff And chokin' in the heat Listened to reports About the crack that's goin' round Seen the smoke and fire And the market burnin' 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 watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' 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 checkin' 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 watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' everyday No way to delay That trouble everyday Yeah, it just makes me wanna play the bluesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
