Ooh, ooh, oooh I got a wound so deep
Cuts through me like a scythe
Rips me up from the inside out
Till I curl up and I writhe
There ain’t no drug to ease my pain
No salve to sooth my soul
Every little thing is some kind of thing
I am just one big ol’ black hole
Ooh, ooh, oooh I been laid so low
Knee deep in the dirt
No one’s around to pull me up
Even though I been sending out a red alert
I done all I could to communicate
But ain’t no one hearing
Tryin’ to make myself look not so bad
Maybe even a little endearing
There ain’t no balm to heal my sores
No band-aid to cover my scars
I got bonked on my big stupid head
And now all I see is stars
Ow, ow, ow big hurt
Ow, ow, ow big hurt
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Big hurt, big hurt
Ooh, ooh, oooh I am broke down and busted
Every bone is in pain
So I take me a mess of analgesics
Even smoke me up some maryjane
But nothing ever seems to work
And I ain’t getting any fitter
I chug right along like an angry old man
Just as mad and just as bitter
There ain’t no unguent to treat my welts
No medicine to cure my ails
I got so many things wrong with me
I am plumb run off the rails
