Last time I saw you you had dirt under your nails[00:00:23]

Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale[00:00:26]

You said my life has become a livin' hell[00:00:28]

Ain't got enough money to pay my bills[00:00:31]

Everything is wrong[00:00:35]

Everything is wrong[00:00:40]

Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm[00:00:46]

He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam[00:00:48]

It used to help kill the pain some of the time[00:00:52]

Now I can't sleep at all since I got back home[00:00:54]

Everything is wrong[00:00:57]

Everything is wrong[00:01:03]

I worked in the strip mines off and on[00:01:09]

Now I can't seem to get rid of this cough[00:01:12]

Ain't been many jobs these last few months[00:01:15]

And the last one I had I got laid off[00:01:17]

Everything is wrong[00:01:20]

Everything is wrong[00:01:26]

I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat[00:02:17]

Can you loan me some money for something to eat[00:02:20]

Been out here on this corner for about a week[00:02:23]

Tryin hard to stand on my own two feet[00:02:26]

Everything is wrong[00:02:29]

Everything is wrong[00:02:35]

They want to try and tell me where I can live[00:02:40]

They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me[00:02:43]

A nice little tract house with running water[00:02:46]

But how am I gonna explain that to my Navaho mother[00:02:49]

Everything is wrong[00:02:52]

Everything is wrong[00:02:58]

My American dream almost came true[00:03:03]

But the things they promised me never came through[00:03:06]

I believe in the American dream[00:03:09]

But things are never quite what they seem[00:03:12]

Everything is wrong[00:03:15]

Everything is wrong[00:03:21]

Everything is wrong[00:03:26]

Everything is wrong[00:03:32]
