Lyrics
I'm about to get upset, watching my TV
Checking out the news until my eyeballs fail to see
You know that every day is just another rotten mess
But when it's gonna change, my friend, is anybody's guess
So I'm watching and I'm waiting
Hoping for the best
I think I'm gonna pray
Time I hear them say
That there's no way to delay
There's trouble coming every day
No way to delay
There's trouble coming every day
No way to delay
No way to delay
On Wednesday I watch the riot, watch the cops out on the street
Watch them throwing rocks and stuff and choking in the heat
Listen to reports about the whisky passed around
See the smoke and fire and the market burning down
Watch while everybody on his street could take a turn
Stomp and smash and bash and crash and slash and bust and burn
Watching and I'm waiting
Hoping for the best
Think I'm gonna pray
Time I hear them say
That there's no way to delay
There's trouble coming every day
No way to delay
There's trouble coming every day
No way to delay
No way to delay
You know, we gotta sit around at home and watch this thing begin
I bet there won't be many left to see it really end
'Cause a fire in the street ain't like a fire in the heart
The eyes of all these people don't know that it could start
In any street, in any town, any state, in any clown
Decides that now's the time to fight some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree there ain't no Great Society
That applies to you or me, our country isn't free
And the law refused to see that all that you will ever be
Is just a lousy janitor unless you all close the store
Five in every four just won't amount to nothing more
Watch the rats all clear the floor, make 'em strong by being poor
Blow your harmonica, son
