[Verse 1]
What's wrong, dear brother?
Have you lost your faith?
Don't you remember a better place?
Needles and things done you in
Like the setting sun
Oh, dear brother, trouble weighs a ton

[Verse 2]
What's wrong, dear sister?
Did your world fall down?
Men misuse you and push you around
Same story dear, year after year
Pathetic men run
Oh, dear sister, trouble weighs a ton

[Bridge]
Trouble in the air
Trouble all I see
Does anybody care?
Trouble killing me
Oh, it's killing me

[Verse 3]
What's wrong, dear mother?
Has your child disobeyed?
Left you hurt in so many ways
What once was sweet is sorrow and grief
That cannot be undone
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton
