Well Im about to get up sick
From watchin my t.v.
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 its gonna change, my friend
Is anybodys guess
So Im watching and Im waiting
Hopin for the best
Even think I go to praying
Every time I hear them sayin
That theres no way to delay
That trouble comin everyday
No way to delay
That trouble comin every day
Wednesday I watched the riot
Ive seen the cops out on the street
Watch them throwing rocks and stuff and choking 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
They stomp and smash and bash and crash and slash and bust n burn
And Im watching and Im waitin hopin for the best
Even think I go to prayin
Every time I hear em sayin
That theres no way to delay
That trouble comin every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin everyday
You can cool it
You can heat it
Cause baby I dont need it
Take your t.v. tube and eat it
And all that phony stuff on sports
And all those unconfirmed reports
You know I watch that rotten box
