Justin Hinds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Botheration, oh, oh yes, botheration there
The people them a bawl, botheration there
Tomorrow when we gone, botheration there
Oh, botheration there
Oh, botheration there
I move from north to south, botheration there
So everywhere I go, botheration there
Too much confusion in the city
Too much botheration on the land
The people them a bawl, botheration there
Tomorrow when we gone, botheration there
Oh, botheration there
Oh, botheration there
Too much confusion in the city
Too much botheration on the land
People them a bawl, botheration there
Tomorrow when we gone, botheration there
Oh, botheration there
Oh, botheration there
I live from east to west, botheration there
I move from north to south, botheration there
So everywhere I go, botheration there
So tomorrow when we gone...
