Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Till my eyeballs fail to see

I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friend
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'

There's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay the trouble
Comin' every day

Wednesday, I watched the riot
Seen the cops out on the street
Watched 'em throwin' rocks
And stuff and chokin' in the heat

Listen to reports
About the whiskey passin' 'round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burnin' down

Watched while everybody
On his 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
