trouble everyday

george thorogood and the destroyers

well i'm about to get upset

watchin' my tv

checkin' out the news

until my eyeballs fail to see

i mean to say that every day

there's 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

wednesday i watched the riot

i seen the cops out on the street

watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff

and chokin' in the heat

listened to reports

about the crack that's goin' round

seen the smoke and fire

and the market burnin' down

watched while everybody

on your street would take a turn

to stomp and smash and bash and crash

and slash and bust and burn

and 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

well you can cool it

you can heat it

'cause

baby

i don't need it

take your tv tube and eat it

and all that phony stuff on sports

and all the unconfirmed reports

you know i watched that rotten box

until my head began to hurt

from checkin' out the way

the newsmen say they get the dirt

before the guys on channel so-and-so

can further their research

and if anybody gets the news

before it hits the street

they say that no one blabs 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 we'll see it all complete

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

no way to delay

that trouble comin' everyday

no way to delay

that trouble everyday

yeah

it just makes me wanna play the blues
