The rest is just the main riff
A thorn in my side
and you live just to pull me down
rusted nail I stepped on this infection
A thorn in my side
You're full
I think so
of Anger
You need to sit down
and stay down
these things you want but don't get
Is that fair?
I don't think so
A sure thing that you can count on
a big depression
Your praise is two faced
and you're cut down my friend
