So Much Pain
"'Away, away, away, through a forest away
Through a forest away, we see no water
Through a forest away, along our tracks away
Hills ascending, then pleasantly away, away, through a forest away
We see a water, along the river, away
A short distance we go, then away, away, away, through a forest away
Then along another river away, across the river away
Still we go onwards, along the sea away, through the bush away
Then along the sea away
We sleep near the sea'"
So much pain
I don't know how to explain
They told me it was all in my brain
They told me I was lonely 'cause I always act insane
They told me I was born with a stain older than my name
They taught me that I oughta be ashamed
They taught me that the man in the mirror was the man for me to blame
The man for me to change
That had me feelin' strange
Had me havin' Happy Feet, uh
Feelin' so "endange"
It's like a tundra sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
Uh-huh uh-uh
Uh-huh uh-uh
Broken glass, everywhere
People throwin' stones, they just don't care
They just don't care
They just don't care
"Again, there is Franklin returning from the Arctic coast
And stilling the pangs of hunger
With species of singed hide mixed with lichen
Varied with the horns and bones of the dead deer
Fried with some old shoes
'We ate biscuit, but in truth it was biscuit no longer
But a powder full of worms'
(People talk shit, but they don't really know)
'So great was the want of food, that we were forced to eat the hides
(People talk shit, but they don't really go, oh no)
With which the mainyard was covered
But we had also to make use of sawdust for food
And rats became a great delicacy'
Related Magellan as he led his little ship across the unknown Pacific"
Through a forest away, we see no water
