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.

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.

Trouble in the air

Trouble all I see

Does anybody care?

Trouble killing me

Oh, it's killing me.

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.
