Painkiller Blues
I’ve had a small accident
As you might see
It is not a pretty sight
I do not disagree
It could be cut, torn or burnt
I don’t know much about it
All I know is that I’m in a fair bit of pain
There’s no doubt about it
Although they give me pills and needles
Sometimes it even helps a bit
But it comes back in a few hours
Causing quite a fit!
Please pump me full of pills and drugs
So I don’t have to feel again
Because when it all comes back
I cannot stand the pain!
I can’t stand this much longer
It’s really hard to fight it
Even if they’d tear the damn thing off
I’d be quite happy about it.
