It's the wake of all evil A universal mess I've always found trouble Even at my best No hopes to get better Until they put me down to rest I am a troubled man Anxiety and sorrow Underneath my skin Self destruction and failure Have beat my head in I laughed out loud once I won't do that again I've always traveled the hellfire road And tasted the sweet smell of sin I am a troubled man I am a troubled man I am a troubled man I am a troubled man So many things Have gone through my hands I am a troubled man People up on the east side People on the gravel road People of many colors Whose stories have never been told Too late came too early For me to face myself I am a troubled man I am a troubled man I am a troubled man (Oh Lord) I won't do anything But hurt you if I can I am a troubled man
