歌词

[00:23.59] Last time I saw you, you had dirt under your nails
[00:26.21] Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale
[00:28.89] You said my life has become a livin' hell
[00:31.83] Ain't got enough money to pay my bills
[00:34.27]
[00:35.02] Everything is wrong
[00:36.90]
[00:40.90] Everything is wrong
[00:43.15]
[00:46.15] Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm
[00:48.96] He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam
[00:52.03] It used to help kill the pain some of the time
[00:54.65] Now I can't sleep at all since I got back home
[00:57.34]
[00:57.96] Everything is wrong
[00:59.90]
[01:03.66] Everything is wrong
[01:05.71]
[01:09.27] I worked in the strip mines off and on
[01:12.03] Now I can't seem to get rid of this cough
[01:15.19] Ain't been many jobs these last few months
[01:17.69] And the last one I had I got laid off
[01:20.19]
[01:20.88] Everything is wrong
[01:23.19]
[01:26.57] Everything is wrong
[01:29.26]
[02:17.95] I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat
[02:20.90] Can you loan me some money for something to eat
[02:23.76] Been out here on this corner for about a week
[02:26.33] Tryin hard to stand on my own two feet
[02:29.02]
[02:29.65] Everything is wrong
[02:31.77]
[02:35.39] Everything is wrong
[02:38.08]
[02:40.70] They want to try and tell me where I can live
[02:43.77] They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me
[02:46.77] A nice little tract house with running water
[02:49.52] But how am I gonna explain that to my Navaho mother
[02:52.51] Everything is wrong
[02:55.09]
[02:58.33] Everything is wrong
[03:00.58]
[03:03.71] My American dream almost came true
[03:06.60] But the things they promised me never came through
[03:09.60] I believe in the American dream
[03:12.29] But things are never quite what they seem
[03:14.73]
[03:15.42] Everything is wrong
[03:17.67]
[03:21.16] Everything is wrong
[03:24.04]
[03:26.97] Everything is wrong
[03:29.35]
[03:32.66] Everything is wrong
