So much trouble in the world
I can't watch or read the news
It brings me down so bad baby
When I read the daily blues

So much heartache in the world
All the sickness and the war
Keep my head down in the sand
'Cause I just can't take no more

I'm talking 'bout trouble
Too many reasons for the blues
I'm talking trouble
It's time we had some better news

So much fighting in the world
God and country leads to war
They say we fight for peace
But I just can't take no more

So much killing in the world
Terrorist victims by the score
So much trouble in the world, baby
But I just can't take no more

I'm talking 'bout trouble
Too many reasons for the blues
I'm talking trouble
It's time we had some better news

I'm talking 'bout trouble
Too many reasons for the blues
I'm talking trouble
It's time we had some better news, yeah
