[Intro]
I got troubles, you got troubles
All God's children got troubles
Living in...

[Chorus]
Bad water, bad water
Trying to roll all over me
Bad water, bad water
Tell me, why won't you set me free?

[Verse 1]
You know I'm trying to make it
But it's so hard to take it
I don't mind telling you, well, I don't mind telling you
Taxes are overrated
My money's disintegrated
And, right now, I'm just going through
Nothing but...

[Chorus]
Bad water, bad water
Trying to roll all over me
Bad water, bad water
Tell me, why won't you set me free?
[Verse 2]
I need some consolation
To ease my situation
You know, the confusion just won't stop
I find myself alone
With the shoes that I have on
I'm all wet, from bottom to top
From walking through...

[Chorus]
Bad water, bad water
Trying to roll all over me
Bad water, bad water
Tell me, why won't you set me free?

[Verse 3]
We started this decision
To find a quick prevention
Why don't you all lend a helping hand?
Instead of shouting and screaming
Let's plan instead of dreaming
So the world will understand
Oh, stop this...

[Chorus]
Bad water, bad water
Trying to roll all over me
Stop this... bad water, bad water
Tell me, why won't you set me free?
[Outro]
Oh, let's stop this...
Bad water, bad water
Trying to roll all over me...
