The Cure for the Pain

Damn this lump in my throat

Damn this hole in my coat

Damn this rain that just won’t quit

Damn the sorry waste of it

Damn the truth, and damn these lies

Damn that look behind your eyes

Damn this day, damn this night

Goddamn this losing fight

There ain’t no boat, there ain’t no train

To take us back the way we came

[03:29.10]Ain’t no shelter from this hard rain

[01:58.78][03:37.19][03:45.03]The cure for the pain is the pain

It’s not like you think it’s gonna be

Not like the movies that you see

Ain’t no soaring violins

Just machines and medicines

So bless these pills, bless these sheets

Bless this food that you can’t eat

Bless the damned who walk these halls

And god have mercy on us all

There ain’t no drug, there ain’t no cure

To make it like it was before
