Trouble Every Day - Frank Zappa[00:00:00]
Well I'm about to get UPSET[00:00:12]
From watchin' my TV[00:00:14]
Been checkin' out the news[00:00:16]
Until my eyeballs fail to see[00:00:18]
I mean they say that every day[00:00:20]
Is just another rotten mess[00:00:22]
And when it's gonna change, my friends[00:00:24]
Is anybody's guess[00:00:26]
So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'[00:00:28]
Hopin' for the best[00:00:30]
Even think I'll go to prayin'[00:00:32]
Every time I hear 'em sayin'[00:00:34]
That there's no way to delay[00:00:36]
That trouble comin' every day[00:00:38]
No way to delay[00:00:40]
That trouble comin' every day[00:00:42]
Wednesday I watched the riot...[00:00:52]
I seen the cops out on the street[00:00:54]
Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff[00:00:56]
And chokin' in the heat[00:00:58]
Listened to reports[00:01:00]
About the whisky passin' 'round[00:01:01]
Seen the smoke & fire[00:01:04]
And the market burnin' down[00:01:06]
Watched while everybody[00:01:08]
On his street would take a turn[00:01:09]
To stomp and smash and bash and crash[00:01:12]
And slash and bust and burn[00:01:14]
And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'[00:01:15]
Hopin' for the best[00:01:18]
Even think I'll go to prayin'[00:01:20]
Every time I hear 'em sayin'[00:01:22]
That there's no way to delay[00:01:23]
That trouble comin' every day[00:01:25]
No way to delay[00:01:27]
That trouble comin' every day[00:01:29]
Well you can cool it,[00:01:42]
You can heat it...[00:01:44]
'Cause, baby, I don't need it...[00:01:45]
Take your TV tube and eat it[00:01:47]
'N all that phony stuff on sports[00:01:49]
'N all THOSE unconfirmed reports[00:01:51]
You know I watched that rotten box[00:01:53]
Until my head began to hurt[00:01:55]
From checkin' out the way[00:01:57]
The newsmen say they get the dirt[00:01:59]
Before the guys on channel so-and-so[00:02:01]
And further they assert[00:02:04]
That any show they'll interrupt[00:02:05]
To bring you news if it comes up[00:02:07]
They say that if the place blows up[00:02:09]
They'll be the first to tell[00:02:11]
Because the boys they got downtown[00:02:13]
Are workin' hard and doin' swell,[00:02:15]
And if anybody gets the news[00:02:17]
Before it hits the street,[00:02:19]
They say that no one blabs it faster[00:02:21]
Their coverage can't be beat[00:02:23]
And if another woman driver[00:02:25]
Gets machine-gunned from her seat[00:02:27]
They'll send some joker with a brownie[00:02:29]
And you'll see it all complete[00:02:31]
So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'[00:02:33]
Hopin' for the best[00:02:35]
Even think I'll go to prayin'[00:02:37]
Every time I hear 'em sayin'[00:02:39]
That there's no way to delay[00:02:41]
That trouble comin' every day[00:02:43]
No way to delay[00:02:45]
That trouble comin' every day[00:02:47]
Hey you know something people[00:02:53]
I'm not black[00:02:56]
But there's a whole lots a times[00:02:57]
I wish I could say I'm not white[00:02:58]
Well, I seen the fires burnin'[00:03:05]
And the local people turnin'[00:03:06]
On the merchants and the shops[00:03:08]
Who used to sell their brooms and mops[00:03:10]
And every other household item[00:03:13]
Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em[00:03:15]
And they say it served 'em right[00:03:17]
Because a few of them are white,[00:03:18]
And it's the same across the nation[00:03:20]
Black & white discrimination[00:03:22]
They're yellin' "You can't understand me!"[00:03:24]
And all the other crap they hand me[00:03:26]
In the papers and TV[00:03:28]
'N all that mass stupidity[00:03:30]
That seems to grow more every day[00:03:32]
Each time you hear some nitwit say[00:03:34]
He wants to go and do you in[00:03:36]
Because the color of your skin[00:03:38]
Just don't appeal to him[00:03:40]
(No matter if it's black or white)[00:03:42]
Because he's out for blood tonight[00:03:44]
You know we gotta sit around at home[00:04:20]
And watch this thing begin[00:04:22]
But I bet there won't be many left[00:04:24]
To see it really end[00:04:26]
'Cause the fire in the street[00:04:28]
Ain't like the fire in my heart[00:04:29]
And in the eyes of all these people[00:04:32]
Don't you know that this could start[00:04:33]
On any street in any town[00:04:36]
In any state if any clown[00:04:37]
Decides that now's the time to fight[00:04:39]
For some ideal he thinks is right[00:04:41]
And if a million more agree[00:04:44]
There ain't no great society[00:04:45]
As it applies to you and me[00:04:48]
Our country isn't free[00:04:50]
And the law refuses to see[00:04:52]
If all that you can ever be[00:04:53]
Is just a lousy janitor[00:04:55]
Unless your uncle owns a store[00:04:57]
You know that five in every four[00:04:59]
WON'T amount TO nothin' more[00:05:01]
THAN watch the rats go across the floor[00:05:03]
And make up songs about being poor[00:05:05]
Blow your harmonica son![00:05:08]
