< Verse >
These things of
this earth
Tell me what
they’re worth
Seems like there’s
pain on every face I see
I just can’t stand
by
With deaf ears and
blind eyes
I don’t want no trouble
down here
< Chorus A >
With all the give
and take
So easy to make a mistake
Take em’ back if I
could
So easy to offend
So hard to win a
friend
I don’t want no
trouble down here
< Verse >
I felt the tears of
a child
That come running
to my arms
Streaming wet
against my hands
I hate to complain
But it drives me
insane
I don’t want no
trouble down here
< Chorus B >
Like the thief of
time
Without reason or
rhyme
We stand in each
other’s way
A little too far gone
Whose side are you
on
I don’t want no trouble
down here
< Instrumental Break – 1 Verse >
< Verse >
What’s ahead and
behind
Don’t pay it any
mind
It’s just a dog
chasing its tail
Travel along
Forgive and move on
I don’t want no
trouble down here
< Chorus C >
Some folks predict
the end
Of the world in
which we live
Don’t pay it any
mind
This is our only
home
Got no place else
to go
I don’t want no
trouble down here
