Cause Of My Pain

They look you up, they look you down
They look you out the nearest door
Like Chicken Little, heart's so brittle
Playin' fiddle just to settle the score

They wanna make you heel, make you kneel
Make your deal with the devil real
It's now or never, flex that ordinary sex appeal
With any luck, you make a buck
Before you duck out of the backdoor in time

So when you pull back the curtain on their play
You're standing naked in the spotlight on an empty stage
Shamed with the vengeance, sharper than a knife
Surrounded by accusations, the crucifixions start to fly

You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain
You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain

They cut you in, they cut you deep
They cut you open to the core
The textbook rebel 'bout as special
As a pebble on a holiday shore

They wanna make you heel, make you kneel
Make your deal with the devil real
It's now or never, flex that ordinary sex appeal
The sucker punch comes after lunch
It's not a hunch, it's a matter of time

So when it hits you, should comes as no surprise
Those social justice warriors armed with every alibi
Freedom arrested, knee upon its neck
Surrender to demonizing and good old fashioned public threats

You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain
You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain

So when it hits you, should comes as no surprise
Those social justice warriors armed with every alibi
Freedom arrested, knee upon its neck
Surrender to demonizing and good old fashioned public threats

You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain
You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain

You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain
You're the cause, the cause
You're the cause, the cause of my pain
