Trouble
© 2015 Bruce Mills (SOCAN)

There's trouble across the water
I can tell by the color of the tide
Gotta get me a boat to take me there
Over to the other side
I'm not afraid of the hurricane
The wind is gonna make me strong
There's trouble across the water
Gotta get there and see what's wrong

There's trouble up on the mountain
Blowing smoke to the valley below
Gotta get me a ladder, gotta get me some rope
Gotta find out what going on
I'm not afraid of the thunder
The lightening gonna show me the way
There's trouble up on the mountain
Gotta climb up there and save the day

Chorus
It's easy to hang around and look at the world going by
And talk about all of the problems you got in control
You go with the flow and you know what you know
And you don't need to care anyway
You're always right when it's just black and white
But you don't even need to choose sides

There's trouble down in the city
I can hear it from a hundred miles away
Gotta get me a gun and a preacher
Gonna settle this problem today
Shoot at the bangers and teach them
Take the word of the prophet to the street
There's trouble down in the city
Time is come to turn up the heat

There's trouble all around me
The walls of the house are falling down
I feel the earth moving under my feet
I can hear the apocalypse sound
I'm reaching deep down inside myself
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
There's so much trouble all around me
I don't know if I can go to sleep
