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