about

I wrote the music for this song so long ago, I can't recall when it was. It was one of those melodies and chord progressions that didn't possess the requisite gravity to attract lyrics until last September when the country was abuzz over the upcoming election and how one of the major candidates seemed better suited for a whore house than the White House.

lyrics

TROUBLE FOLLOWS

If you are a teenager
Who feels somewhat beleaguered
All you want to do is fuck
I’m sorry but you’re out of luck

‘Cause the governor of your fine state
Doesn’t want you to procreate

Everything you do
Trouble follows you
The bad seeds that you grew
Trouble follows you

If you are a grandfather
Who doesn’t want to be bothered
All you want to do is teach
But the youth are out of reach

‘Cause the governor of your fine state
Doesn’t know that she can’t relate

Everything you do
Trouble follows you
All you ever knew
Trouble follows you

What I say
What I know
What I see
Where I go
What I feel
What I write
Where I lay my head tonight

Trouble follows you
Trouble follows you

Hey

(I’ll show you trouble)

If you are a worn out mess
Because you’re under too much stress
You thought the government was on your side
You’ve taken for a ride

‘Cause the governor you elected queen
Has a shotgun pointed at your dreams

Everything you do
Trouble follows you
Everyone you screw
Trouble follows you

What I say
What I know
What I see
What I grow
What I feel
What I write
Where I lay my head tonight

What I say
What I know
What I see
What I show
What I feel
What I write
Where I lay my head tonight

Trouble follows you
Trouble follows you

Everything you do
Trouble follows you
Everyone you screw
Trouble follows you
No matter who you sue
Trouble follows you
The trust fund that you blew
Trouble follows you

Trouble follows you
Trouble, trouble follows you
