Trouble Every Day (Live)

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'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

You know we gotta sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I'd bet there won't be many left
To see it really end

'Cause the fire in the street
Ain't like the fire in my heart
And in the eyes of all these people
Don't you know that this could start

On any street in any town
In any state if any clown
Decides that now's the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right

And if a million more agree
There ain't no great society
As it applies to you and me
And our country isn't free

And the law refuses to see
If all that you can ever be
Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store

You know that five in every four
Just one amount and nothin' more
Don't watch the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor

Blow you harmonica, son
