World of pain I try in vain
|
to stand in the mist, the smoke and the stain
|
the brittle years too full of tears
|
all this crying out yeah
|
nobody gives a damn
|
All these hungry women all these hungry men
|
All these angry children what do you do with them?
|
Oh world of pain oh world of pain
|
lying lying in a world of pain
|
say it don't feel like the truth
|
when we're together baby ohhhhhh
|
it don't feel like the truth
|
when we're together yeah ohhhhhh
|
You're over there in your chair
|
no touching allowed so I only stare
|
But I do not believe oh I am not deceived
|
I'll be banging again to the sound of the rain
|
All of these hungry feelings all of these angry feelings
|
set in motion goes into angry oceans
|
World of pain world of pain
|
lying lying in the world of pain
|
say it don't feel like the truth
|
when we're together baby ohhhhh
|
it don't feel like the truth
|
when we're together yeah ohhhh
|
Son of a bitch has stole my boat
|
locked the chain around my throat
|
threw the ball out in the moat
|
wave goodbye and hope it floats
|
do I scream a little louder? do I scream a little louder?
|
Should I scream a little louder, baby? Yeah
|
Day was quiet as the night I was standing every day
|
Promised I'd stay out of sight
|
promised I'd feel and never say
|
Do I scream a little louder?
|
Should I scream a little louder?
|
Do I scream a little louder,
|
baby? Yeahh
|
Sit on the shore waiting for someday
|
sit in the cold waiting for one day
|
I do not believe I do not believe oh
|
lying lying in the world of pain
|
World of pain world of pain
|
Lying lying in the world of pain
|
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
|
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
|
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
|
It don't feel like the truth when we're together
|
