Life Is Pain Lyrics - Black Swamp Water

From the day you're born 

You learn right away 

That from love you're torn 

And misery will stay 

And there's no one to help you 

No one to protect you 

'Cause life is pain, life is pain 

That sinking feeling 

Dragging you down 

Your foothold keeling 

And you hit the ground 

Your face in the mirror 

Can't tell it clearer 

'Cause it's so plain that life is pain 

They all say it's fine 

And that the sun will shine 

And love will rule the day 

And evil will go away 

But then you'll say 

Every day is the same 

Gut wrenching ache 

Puts your hopes to shame 

And your spirit will break 

Your ass on the line 

Nothing will ever be fine 

There's no gain, 'cause life is pain 

And then the day you die 

Straight down you'll go 

No one hears your cry 

But the Devil below 

He'll laugh when you scream 

You won't wake from this dream 

'Cause life was pain; death is the same 

Life is pain, that's right
