The Trouble Is
(music & lyrics by Lee Lawless)


Satan said to God, "Fuck you!" And God said, "Bitches, please.
You best be gently dealt with, 'fore you put me ill at ease."
Satan said to God, 'Fuck off! I'm rolling in your dirt!'
God said, "Hold your horsemen, son, 'fore someone gets their feelings hurt."

Said, 'I love you, but Iíd kill you if I were given half the chance.'
That's what life says when it asks you to dance
The game is fixed with dirty tricks, and treachy, sketchy dealings
Best believe you'll get called out, 'fore someone gets hurt feelings

The trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble!
You'd have me burn down the entire world just to dance on the rubble
I ain't tryin to hear the way you brag and boast
I ain't goin' to parties where you play the host
Whoa, trouble, I hate your face, and I hate your ghost!

Whoa, there's many ways and races, faces, places you infect
'Cause purest good and purest evil almost always intersect
Nobody wants to fight it, but nobody wants its hand
And when they try to right it, only some can understand:

Where there's a will, there is a way, and where there's free will, there's a freeway
Accidents wonít happen if you give everyone some leeway
But the hangman needs a noose filled, and he doesnít check the names
'Cause the devil doesn't jest, no the devil, he don't play no games

The trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble!
Youíd have me burn down the entire world just to dance on the rubble
I ain't tryin' to hear the way you brag and boast
I ain't goin' to parties where you play the host
Whoa, trouble, I hate your face, and I hate your ghost!

In and out and in and out and in and out of trouble, hey!
In and out and in and out and in and out of trouble
Give me deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep trouble, alright!

The trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble is, the trouble!
You'd have me burn down the entire world just to dance on the rubble
I ain't tryin' to hear the way you brag and boast
I ain't goin' to parties where you play the host
Whoa, trouble, I hate your face, and I hate your ghost!  ^
