Barrel Of Pain

(album: Earth & Sky - 1980)

Hear it, hear it, hear it, hear it, hear it, hear it

I can see the writing on the wall, I can hear the axe before it falls
I can really feel it getting through to me
I can see the sea begin to glow, I can feel it leaking down below
I can barely stand it, what you're doing to me

And in the morning, will you still feel the same?
How're you gonna stop yourself from going insane
With glowing children and a barrel of pain?
I don't want to hear it no more, no

I can see the heat begin to rise, I can see the vapors in my eyes
Any way you look at this, its hard to take
I can feel my skin begin to peel, I can see the dollar and the deal
I can see the companies that are on the make, yes, they are

And in the morning, will you still feel the same?
How're you gonna stop yourself from going insane
With glowing children and a barrel of pain? I don't
Want to hear it no more, no more

And in the morning, will you still feel the same?
Howre you gonna stop yourself from going insane
With glowing children and a barrel of pain?
I don't want to hear it no more, no

I can see the writing on the wall, I can hear the axe before it falls
I can really feel it getting through to me
I can see the sea begin to glow, I can feel it leaking down below
I can barely stand it, what you're doing to me, to me

And in the morning, will you still feel the same?
How're you gonna stop yourself from going insane
With glowing children and a barrel of pain?
I don't want to hear it, hear it, hear it

Hear it, hear it, hear it, I don't want to hear it
I don't want to hear it, no more no more hear it
I don't want to hear it, think about the babies, hear it
Think about the babies, hear it, what about the children, hear it?

I don't want to, hear it, I don't want to, hear it
No more pain oh no, hear it, I don't want, hear it
No, no, no, no more, hear it, I just don't want to hear it
I don't want to, hear it
