Trouble in the city,
Trouble in the country side,
Can't sweep it under the rug
You got trouble you can't hide..

Trouble on a Reservation
Trouble in the ghetto too
And the lies you told my children
Are coming down on you..

How long have you been blind ?
Been coming a long, long time!

Trouble in the jail house,
Trouble out in the street,
You can't blame it on someone else
You got no place to retreat..

Trouble in your Courtroom,
Trouble written on the wall
And all the pieces of your mistakes
Are starting to fall..

How long have you been blind ?
Been coming a long, long time !

And now the crowd is leaving,
But they got no place to go..
There's a RedMan in the mountain
Standing in the snow.
Time will be a season
I know it will come to pass
But those who listen to the sign
Will behold to a land..

How long have you been blind ?
Been coming a long, long time..

Trouble with the countries,
Trouble with the way you live..
You've been taking for so long
You don't know how to give

How long have you been blind ?
Been coming a long, long time !
