Well I'm 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 it's gonna change, my friend

Is anybody's guess

So I'm watching and I'm waiting

Hopin' for the best

Even think I go to praying

Every time I hear them sayin'

That there's no way to delay

That trouble comin' everyday

No way to delay

That trouble comin' every day

Wednesday I watched the riot

I'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 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 I'm watching and I'm waitin hopin' for the best

Even think I 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' everyday

You can cool it

You can heat it

Cause baby I don'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 checkin' 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 can't be beat

And if another woman driver

Gets machine gunned from her seat

They'll send some joker with a brownie

And youll see it all complete

So I'm watching and I'm waiting

Hopin for the best

Even think I go to praying

Every time I hear them saying

That there's no way to delay

That trouble comin' everyday

No way to delay

That trouble comin' every day

Well I've seen the fires burnin'

And the local people turnin'

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 it'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 don't appeal to him

No matter if it's black or white

Because he's out for blood tonight
