Last time i saw you, you had dirt under your nails
Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale
You said my life has become a livin' hell
Ain't got enough money to pay my bills

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm
He got hooked on heroin in vietnam
It used to help kill the pain some of the time
Now i can't sleep at all since i got back home

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

I worked in the strip mines off and on
Now i can't seem to get rid of this cough
Ain't been many jobs these last few months
And the last one i had i got laid off

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat
Can you loan me some money for something to eat
Been out here on this corner for about a week
Tryin' hard to stand on my own two feet

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

They want to try and tell me where i can live
They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me
A nice little tract house with running water
But how am i gonna explain that to my navaho mother

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

My american dream almost came true
But the things they promised me never came through
I believe in the american dream
But things are never quite what they seem

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong
