Trouble Lyrics by Material Issue

International Pop Overthrow

0

[Verse 1]
Well, let me tell you all a little story
'Bout the man who lives down at the top of the stairs
Well, he worked all his life for his children and his wife
And he opened up a little store down there

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, one night late while he was lockin' the gate
A kid came in and said, "You know what I want"

[Chorus]
And he said, "I ain't lookin' for trouble
And I know what you came here to do
I ain't lookin' for trouble"
And the kid said, "Trouble has come lookin' for you"

[Verse 2]
Well, I swore that I would find him
Yeah, I said that I would track him down
And in a dirty darkened alleyway I said, "Today is your day
Whatever you do, don't turn around"

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, he looked up to me and he said that I can see
That you know who I am and where I've been

[Chorus]
And he said, "I ain't lookin' for trouble
But I know what you came here to do
I ain't lookin' for trouble"
And I said, "Trouble has come lookin' for you"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, I've spent four years of my life here
In this cold gray prison cell
With my cigarettes and my magazine
And my life, it feels like Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I hear the footsteps in the hall
And I know they're takin' me away and all I said, "I don't wanna die"

[Chorus]
And I said, "I ain't lookin' for trouble
But I know what you came here to do"
I said, "I ain't lookin' for trouble"
And he said, "Trouble has come lookin' for you"
