Well Iв'm about to get up sick
From watchin my t.v.
Been checkinв' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when itв's gonna change, my friend
Is anybodyв's guess
So Iв'm watching and Iв'm waiting
Hopinв' for the best
Even think I go to praying
Every time I hear them sayinв'
That thereв's no way to delay
That trouble cominв' everyday
No way to delay
That trouble cominв' every day

Wednesday I watched the riot
Iв've seen the cops out on the street
Watch them throwing rocks and stuff and choking in the heat
Listen to reports
About the whiskey passinв' round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burninв' down
Watched while everybody on his street would take a turn
They stomp and smash and bash and crash and slash and bust в'n burn
And Iв'm watching and Iв'm waitin hopinв' for the best
Even think I go to prayinв'
Every time I hear em sayinв'
That thereв's no way to delay
That trouble cominв' every day
No way to delay
That trouble cominв' everyday

You can cool it
You can heat it
Cause baby I donв't 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
Until my head begin to hurt
From checkinв' out the way
The newsmen say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so and so
And further they assert
That any show they litter up
They bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They will be the first to tell
Cause the boys they got downtown
Working hard and doin swell
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the streets
They say that no one blams it faster
Their coverage canв't be beat
And if another woman driver
Gets machine gunned from her seat
Theyв'll send some joker with a brownie
And youll see it all complete

So Iв'm watching and Iв'm waiting
Hopin for the best
Even think I go to praying
Every time I hear them saying
That thereв's no way to delay
That trouble cominв' everyday
No way to delay
That trouble cominв' every day

Well Iв've seen the fires burninв'
And the local people turninв'
All the merchants and the shops
Who use to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watch the mob just turn and bite em
And they say it serve them right
Because a few of them are white
And itв's the same across the nation
Black and white discrimination
Yell and you can understand me
And all that other crap they hand me
In the papers and t.v.
And all that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more everyday
These time of year some asshole say
He wants to go and do you in
Cause the color of your skin
Just donв't appeal to him
No matter if itв's black or white
Because heв's out for blood tonight
