What will you put in your pail now your dog’s run dry
and just the outhouse is left in the old backyard
You want a spaceship to come and land and take you away

Well I hate to disappoint you and I surely won’t direct you
but I bet you sincerely want to feel a little better right now
Well go ahead

And what will you do now your money’s come in
but your friend won’t fuck
though you’re feeling kinda hot inside
Tell a lie
Sure

But the main thing is you’re feeling disappointed
’cause you still sincerely want to feel a little better right now
Ain’t that the truth

All stand
All stand
All stand and sing a hymn to the glory of pain
the joy  within discomfort as it happens every day

Oh root of all evil source of all peace
gratefully we sing of thy marvelous way

It hurts so much to suffer words cannot say
No song can release us from great agony
But soon there’s always rest
moments of eternal happiness
seeds of pain

Witness the worst that’s every been done
Probably did it yourself that once just for fun
Well the blood got bad but someone was begging for more

So you raised your gun
and took one last shot
But the thrill was gone
The killing stopped

You went home
You felt clean
As clean as anyone can

Yes what will you do now your dog’s run dry
and just the outhouse is left in the old backyard 
You want a spaceship to come and land and take you away

Well I hate to disappoint you and I surely won’t direct you
but I bet you sincerely want to feel a little better right now

Yes I hate to disappoint you and I surely won’t direct you
but I bet you sincerely want to feel a little better right now

Well go ahead
Feel better
Don’t let me stop you
Do it
