Unearned Wisdom

I got away from my worries and my troubles for a while

But trouble caught up and it did what trouble does

Put me on a train headed straight to you

Places I've been no one else would see me through

Turned around and found that I had left something behind

My mind is playing tricks on me, I'm running out of time

Trouble's catching up with me

Aliens and messages from God

Told me that my life is all a fraud

I got the witches and the demons on my trail

Lock me up, I'm better off in jail

What I've seen could turn you on or make you wanna die

No one understands the things I say or feel inside

Trouble's catching up with me

Mama said she's worried sick for me

Daddy told her let that young man be

Blame me for the weight that's on his back

I'll straighten him up and put him back on track

I'm burning out like cigarettes and stars up in the sky

Everything that I've been told is all a great big lie

Trouble's catching up with me

Metaphysical gun shot me right through the head

Doctor, I'm already there

Trouble caught up with me
