I was just a kid on the block, tried to live by the rules, made
of hardship and strain
A single bird of the flock, never one of those fools used to no pain no gain?
Nothing dear to die for, just follow the jive
Nothing left to live for, doing twentytwo lifes
Guess I'll never flee from the house of pain
They'll never set me free, cause I'm a bad madman...
See, out there, I'm a hustler
Rules are fair, I'm a rumbler
Not like in this institution, I'm a bad madman
Peace disturbed, I'm a hustler
Justice served, I'm a rumbler
Death caused by electrocution
(In the house of pain) ? I'm a bad madman
I found pleasures in games, and by way of guess
I played chess with your mind, a pair of dice and a deck
a bookie's drool down my neck
Was a dream for my kind
Freedom's like and Eagle, sailing in the blue
freedom is an open door, leading out to you
Guess I'll never flee from the house of pain
They'll never set me free, cause I'm a bad madman
Chorus...
Rags to riches all the way, makes no difference
cause we all mus play, oh much sorrow,
Robin's egg blue, growing up as a young c***oo
In the house of painm oh no
Tryin', tryin', tryin' to break free, tryin'...
I'm a bad madman
Chorus
In the house of pain...
of hardship and strain
A single bird of the flock, never one of those fools used to no pain no gain?
Nothing dear to die for, just follow the jive
Nothing left to live for, doing twentytwo lifes
Guess I'll never flee from the house of pain
They'll never set me free, cause I'm a bad madman...
See, out there, I'm a hustler
Rules are fair, I'm a rumbler
Not like in this institution, I'm a bad madman
Peace disturbed, I'm a hustler
Justice served, I'm a rumbler
Death caused by electrocution
(In the house of pain) ? I'm a bad madman
I found pleasures in games, and by way of guess
I played chess with your mind, a pair of dice and a deck
a bookie's drool down my neck
Was a dream for my kind
Freedom's like and Eagle, sailing in the blue
freedom is an open door, leading out to you
Guess I'll never flee from the house of pain
They'll never set me free, cause I'm a bad madman
Chorus...
Rags to riches all the way, makes no difference
cause we all mus play, oh much sorrow,
Robin's egg blue, growing up as a young c***oo
In the house of painm oh no
Tryin', tryin', tryin' to break free, tryin'...
I'm a bad madman
Chorus
In the house of pain...
