If it ain't one thing it's another
If it ain't one thing it's another

It's a crazy mixed up world, it's a dog eat dog world
Life is full of strife, people just aren't nice
Everybody's talking smack, running games on this and that
Racial resentment adds to this contentment
Talk to any guy he'll tell you taxes are too high
Books movies are corrupt, suicide is way up
Kids are a sorry lot, some folks say it's 'cause of pot
Phony ego trips, wow, everyone has flipped

Country's going up in smoke, Where is Noah with his boat

This woman by my side, she's Dr. Jeckyl Mr. Hyde
Can't get my head on right, problems day and night
To calm my nerves I've tried smoke, Doctors give me dope to cope

If it ain't one thing it's another
If it ain't one thing it's another
If it ain't one thing it's another

Lord have mercy

From my day of birth I've called hell on earth
A number is all I am, ain't got no frills don't give a...
If you don't got no pull, you've got to put up with a lot of bull
This funky world is cold, I oughta flush myself down the...
