Trouble lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trouble came around here
Here in the South we fix something to eat
Steam rising up off the greenery
And we welcome the strangers we meet

[Verse 2]
Alien sick growing in these walls
Like moss in a crack that time made
I brush a guy in the airport whistling "It's a Small World After All"
And the prices are higher but the kids still selling lemonade

[Chorus]
Get to the point of it
Get to the sense of it
I'm in a hurry to get through it
(I am in trouble, I am in trouble)

[Verse 3]
A hurricane flag flapping in a bad storm
Same color of the spider underneath my nail
That bit me in my dream
And who would take out the Dominican Republic
And send God's sweet children floating down a poison stream

[Verse 4]
A secret society of conference rooms
I pledge my allegiance to the dollar
And when the clergy take a vote all the gays will pay again
Yeah, 'cause there's more than one kind of criminal white collar
[Chorus]
So get to the point of it
Get to the sense of it
I'm in a hurry to get through it

[Bridge]
One day the war will stop
And we'll grow a peaceful crop
And a girl can get a wife
And we can bring you back to life

[Verse 5]
Sacks of flour and rice or poker chips
There's greasy palms or systems underhanded
And maybe we'll take a walk on Pluto
Yeah, but we'll be no closer to the understanding

[Chorus]
Get to the point of it
Get to the sense of it
I'm in a hurry to get through it
Yeah

[Outro]
I am in trouble, I am in trouble
I am in trouble, I am in trouble
Trouble, trouble
Trouble, trouble
Trouble, trouble
Trouble, trouble
