Joni Mitchell Trouble Child Lyrics

Up in a sterilised room where they let you be (Intro) la-a-zy.
Knowing your attitude's all wrong and you got to change and that's not (Intro) ea-sy.
Dragon shining with all values known. (short riff)
Dazzling you keeping your from your own. (short riff)
Where is the lion in you to defy him when you're this weak and this (Intro) spa-cy?
So what are you going to do about it? You can't live life and you can't (Intro) leave it.
Advice and religion - you can't take it. You can't seem to (Intro) believe it.
The peacock is afraid to parade.
You're under the thumb of the maid.
You really can't give love in this condition. Still you know how you (Intro) need it
horus 1
They open and close you and they talk like they know you, they don't know you.
They're friends and they're foes too. Trouble child
Bsus B4 E E9+7 arpeggio Intro
breaking like the waves at Malibu
So why does it come as such a shock to know you really have (Intro) no one?
Only a river of changing faces looking for an (Intro) ocean
They trickle through your leaky plans
another dream over the dam
And you're lying in some room feeling like your right to be human is going over too.
horus 2
Well, some are going to knock you,
and some'll try an' clock you.
You know it's really hard to talk sense to you, Trouble child
Bsus B4 E E9+7 arpeggio Intro
breaking like the waves at Malibu
