Trouble in Mind (Take 1)
I got to know, Lord, when to pull back on the reins
Death can be the result of the most underrated pain
Satan whispers to you, well, I don't wanna bore ya
When you get tired of that Miss so-and-so, I got another woman for you
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
When the deeds that you do, they don't add up to zero
It's what's inside that counts, ask any war hero
You think you can hide, but you're never alone
Ask a lot what he thought when, his wife turned to stone
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Well, here comes Satan, prince of the power of the air
He's gonna make you think you don't exist
He's gonna make a bird's nest in your hair
He will make you a law unto yourself
And make you worship the work of your own hands
Until you'll be serving strangers in a strange forsaken land
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Now, your true love has caught you where you do not belong
You say, "Everybody's doing it," so I guess it can't be wrong
The truth is far from you, so you couldn't even lie
Then, you're all the time defending what you can never justify
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
So many of my brothers, they still want to be the boss
They can't relate to the Lord's kingdom, they can't relate to the cross
They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives
Put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs, or their wives
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
When the life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
How long must I suffer? Lord, how long must I be provoked?
Satan will give you a little taste, then, he'll move in with rapid speed
Lord keep my blind side covered, see that I don't bleed
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Death can be the result of the most underrated pain
Satan whispers to you, well, I don't wanna bore ya
When you get tired of that Miss so-and-so, I got another woman for you
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
When the deeds that you do, they don't add up to zero
It's what's inside that counts, ask any war hero
You think you can hide, but you're never alone
Ask a lot what he thought when, his wife turned to stone
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Well, here comes Satan, prince of the power of the air
He's gonna make you think you don't exist
He's gonna make a bird's nest in your hair
He will make you a law unto yourself
And make you worship the work of your own hands
Until you'll be serving strangers in a strange forsaken land
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
Now, your true love has caught you where you do not belong
You say, "Everybody's doing it," so I guess it can't be wrong
The truth is far from you, so you couldn't even lie
Then, you're all the time defending what you can never justify
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
So many of my brothers, they still want to be the boss

Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind

How long must I suffer? Lord, how long must I be provoked?
Satan will give you a little taste, then, he'll move in with rapid speed
Lord keep my blind side covered, see that I don't bleed
Trouble in mind, Lord, trouble in mind
Lord, take away this trouble in mind
