Good Trouble (words and music by Evan Stepp)
You were young
But wise enough to sense the yearning
You could feel the embers burning
Of a fire that’s longing to be free
So you went
And soon found out that there were others
Pulled by the same internal voices
Saying this life we’re living just ain’t right
Plans were made
You could see the day
What is good was on your side
You stepped up to the monster’s door
Knocked and then you said
Hey I’m looking for good trouble to get into
Yeah that good trouble
Murky water
Beneath a bridge in Alabama
Getting tossed into the slammer
The words of Wallace permeating in the air
Tensions high
You knew this time it’s now or never
They sent the dogs they sent the tankers
A scene of cowardice and fear on full display
Good folks stood and watched you bleed
As blood poured from your head
That apathy’s still here today
So face it when you can
And go looking for good trouble to get into
Yeah that good trouble
I’m looking for good trouble to get into
