Pain Teaches Best

Pain Teaches Best
 
It’s that thorn in the side of your hide,
It’s that gnawing emptiness deep down inside,
It’s the sting that just won’t go away,
It’s pain, baby, yeah, that’s its name.
 
Remember when Mama said it’ll be alright
As she took your hand and held it tight,
But somewhere in the night something
Else crept in bed and held you tight.
 
The lessons of life are best taught by it
Long after the hurt, long after the fight,
No, you never forget the struggle and strife,
Pain doesn’t care who’s wrong or who’s right.
 
Remember when Daddy said it’ll be alright,
As he took your hand and held it tight,
But somewhere in the day that small
Voice spoke up, watch out, something’s not O.K.
 
Yeah, pain teaches best if you can stand the test,
That bitch doesn’t care if you get no rest
She’s a heartless harlot, she’ll lay down with you.
Yeah, she’ll teach you best, ain’t that the truth.
 
Remember when Big Brother said it’ll be alright,
As he took a lot of your money and told you, “Better not put up a fight.”
Yeah, everywhere you go they know
How to screw it to ya, they love to test
Just remember and never forget,
Pain is life’s little reminder, Pain teaches best.
 
Yeah, Pain is life’s little reminder, Pain teaches best.
 
Yeah, Pain is life’s little reminder, Pain teaches best
