But the things they promised me never came through
And the last one I had I got laid off
I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat
Everything is wrong
Ain't got enough money to pay my bills
Everything is wrong
I worked in the strip mines off and on
Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong
They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me
Everything is wrong
But how am I gonna explain that to my Navaho mother
But things are never quite what they seem
Everything is wrong
Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm
Been out here on this corner for about a week
Everything is wrong
Now I can't sleep at all since I got back home
You said my life has become a livin' hell
I believe in the American dream
Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong
My American dream almost came true
Everything is wrong
Ain't been many jobs these last few months
Can you loan me some money for something to eat
Everything is wrong
He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam
It used to help kill the pain some of the time
A nice little tract house with running water
Everything is wrong
They want to try and tell me where I can live
Tryin' hard to stand on my own two feet
Now I can't seem to get rid of this cough
Everything is wrong
