Big Country Trouble In The Waters Lyrics

Trouble In The Waters Lyrics

They took a southern working man and chained him to a car

Claimed before
the judge we didn't pull him very far

Anyway, he looked at us with murder
in his glance

We want to make a bargain, and the plea is self defense



Look mother trouble the waters

We've lost our sons and
daughters

Blame religion, blame the family

It had to be
somebody



Painless violence, daddy's silence

Feed the glamour
of drugs and guns

Somebody tell me, you gotta

Who threw the stone to
trouble the waters



They took a student farmer and they chained him
to a post

And sent their finest greetings with him to the holy ghost

This is a place where men are men and we don't need his kind

We know
what he planned for us, we could read his filthy mind



Look mother
trouble the waters

We've lost our sons and daughters

Blame
religion, blame the family

It had to be somebody



Painless
violence, daddy's silence

Feed the glamour of drugs and guns

Somebody tell me, you gotta

Who threw the stone to trouble the
waters



They took a box of rifles and they hauled them off to
school

Set up like a sniper in that movie that was cool

Someone
tripped the fire alarm and panic set about

They looked upon their enemy
and calmly took him out



Look mother trouble the waters

We've
lost our sons and daughters

Blame religion, blame the family

It had
to be somebody



Painless violence, daddy's silence

Feed the
glamour of drugs and guns

Somebody tell me, you gotta

Who threw the
stone to trouble the waters



Look mother trouble the waters

We've lost our sons and daughters

Blame religion, blame the family

It had to be somebody



Painless violence, daddy's silence

Feed the glamour of drugs and guns

Somebody tell me, you gotta

Who threw the stone to trouble the waters



Who threw the stone
that trouble the waters

Who threw that stone

Who threw the stone to
trouble the waters

Trouble the waters
