Lyrics
[Intro]
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
[Verse 1]
Bless my eyes this morning
Jah sun is on the rise once again
The way earthly things are goin'
Anything can happen
[Verse 2]
You see men sailing on their ego trip
Blast off on their spaceship
Million miles from reality
No care for you, no care for me
[Verse 3]
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
[Verse 4]
All you gotta do is give a little
Give a little
Take a little
Take a little
Give a little
Give a little
One more time
Yeah
Give a little
Yeah
Give a little
Yeah
Give a little
Yeah
[Verse 5]
So you think you found the solution?
But it's just another illusion
So before you check out this tide
Don't leave another cornerstone
Standing there behind, yeah
[Verse 6]
We've got to face the day
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, come what may
We the street people talkin'
Yeah, we the people strugglin'
[Verse 7]
Now they sitting on a time bomb
Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb-bomb
Now I know the time has come
Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb-bomb
What goes on up is comin' on down
Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb-bomb
Goes around and comes around
Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb
[Outro]
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble, there is so much trouble
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble, there is so much trouble
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble in the world
There is so much in the world
So much trouble in the world
