Bad Water - Jackie DeShannon

I got troubles, you got troubles

All God’s children got troubles

Livin' in bad water, (bad water)

(Tryin' to roll all over me)

(Bad water, bad water ooooh)

(Tell me why won’t you set me free)

You know I’m tryin' to make it

But it’s so hard to take it

I don’t mind tellin' you

Well, I don’t mind tellin' you

Taxes are overated

My money’s disentergrated

And, right now, I’m just goin' through

Nothin' but, bad water, bad water

Tryin' to roll all over me, oooh

(Bad water, bad water ooooh)

Tell me why won’t you set me free

I need some consolation

To ease my situtation

You know, the confusion just won’t stop

I find myself alone

With the shoes that I have on

I’m all wet, from bottom to top

I’m walkin' through, bad water, (bad water)

Tryin' to roll all over me, help me

(Bad water, bad water ooooh)

Tell me why won’t you set me free

We started this decision

To find a quick prevention

Why don’t ya’ll lend a helping hand

Instead of shoutin' and screamin'

Let’s plan instead of dreamin'

So the world will understand

Oh, stop with this bad water, (bad water)

Tryin' to roll all over me, I’ll fix it

(Bad water, bad water ooooh)

Tell me why won’t you set me free

Oh, let’s stop and fish

(Bad water, bad water)
