Good Pain

(album: Mental Jewelry - 1991)

he said, he said, he said "there is nothing to fear boy"
he said, he said, he said "worthless are your tears boy"
"just realize your senses,
realize your earth
just realize your essence first"

i'll never be the same again
i want to walk in the sun
i am alive and well again
no more bitter sweet, no more good pain, no more

so many of us stand in the middle,
looking back to the worst
looking forward to the fall,
making weapons of peace for the defense
of the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks

you say the buildings got too tall
and they want to fry your brother
i say you'd better walk away, walk away, walk away
and find your mother

no more bittersweet. no more good pain

if i can't sing this song and tell you all about it
then i'll just pack it up right now
and walk away, don't even doubt it

so when our cheri glass is full,
and the day is way too young
you'd better sip today, sip today, sip today,
before i'm (its) gone

no more bittersweet, no more good pain

no more good pain,
no more good pain, good pain
no more good pain,
no more good pain, good pain

so many of us stand in the middle,
looking back to the worst
looking forward to the fall,
making weapons of peace for the defense
of the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks

there's a line we've got to cross tonight
there's a line you've got to cross tonight
there's a line we've got to cross tonight
there's a line you've got to cross tonight

no more bittersweet, no more good pain

no more good pain,
no more good pain, good pain
no more good pain,
no more good pain, good pain today...

no more weapons of peace, no more good pain
no more sickening sweet, no more good pain
no more famine and feast, no more good pain
no more good pain
