"Trouble Every Day" (labeled in early prints as "Trouble Comin' Every Day") is a song by the Mothers of Invention, released on their 1966 debut album Freak Out!. Written in the aftermath of the 1965 Watts riots, the song is an early example of Frank Zappa's explicit social commentary, addressing racial violence, economic inequality, police brutality and media sensationalism.
