From the day you're born



You learn right away



That from love you're torn



And misery will stay



And there's no one to help you



No one to protect you



'Cause life is pain, life is pain



That sinking feeling



Dragging you down



Your foothold keeling



And you hit the ground



Your face in the mirror



Can't tell it clearer



'Cause it's so plain that life is pain



They all say it's fine



And that the sun will shine



And love will rule the day



And evil will go away



But then you'll say



Every day is the same



Gut wrenching ache



Puts your hopes to shame



And your spirit will break



Your ass on the line



Nothing will ever be fine



There's no gain, 'cause life is pain



And then the day you die



Straight down you'll go



No one hears your cry



But the Devil below



He'll laugh when you scream



You won't wake from this dream



'Cause life was pain; death is the same
