World of Trouble - John Campbell

JOHN CAMPBELL

I left the station walking.

You know the time of night

The buses don’t run through the outskirts of paradise

I heard a gunshot.

I saw a razor flash.

If you don’t open your eyes this breath could be your

last.

There’s a whole world of trouble, babe,

What’s this hatred for?

I don’t go near the alley.

There’s hungry wolves in

there.

I can hear their stomachs growling from frustration and

despair.

Siren screams in the distance, another dirty deals gone

down.

Just an ordinary night on the wrong side of town.

I feel a cold wind blowing.

It chills me to the bone.

My heart is hanging heavy for those folks here with no

home.

I walk up my steps, turn the lock once more.

Shake my head and wonder

What’s all this hatred for?
