The Painful End
Everybody has a painful end
It doesn’t matter how you go,
In a barrel flash or crying and pleading
Everybody has a painful end
Everybody has a painful end
It doesn’t matter how you go,
In a barrel flash or crying and pleading
Everybody has a painful end
There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Tellin’ me I got to beware
You can build a big stone boat
Cover it with the sex organs of plants
and call it a float
Or you could take your own life seriously
I don’t know why you’re lying down there
Another sunny day ends in despair
It’s not fair and never justified
Just another pile of pain to be brushed aside
