So much trouble in the world now [repeat] Bless my eyes this morning JAH sun is on the rise once again The way earthly things are going Anything can happen You see men sailing on their ego trips Blast off on their spaceships Million miles from reality No care for you, no care for me So much trouble in the world now [repeat] All you've got to do is give a little Give a little, give a little One more time ye-a-h! ye-ah! So you think you have found the solution But it's just another illusion So before you check out your tide Don't leave another cornerstone standing there behind We have got to face the day, ooh we come what may We the street people talking, we the people struggling Now they are sitting on a time bomb Now I now the time has come What goes up must come down Goes around comes around 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 There is so much trouble There is so much trouble in the world There is so much trouble in the world |
