Pain - Suckerpunch

Album:

I?m sick of only making peanuts.
I?m sick of stale sandwich bread.
I?ve got a plan to make it better
And it begins with a simple punch to my head.

Another count and I?m down but I?m wearing him down.
Keeping the faith that I?ve got what it takes.
Deride my pride but I?ll be alright.
I?ve got a Rocky II lunchbox with bills in it
And I?ll scrape by.

I have seen this on some episode
Of Maude, Fish, Chips, or the White Shadow
Rerun in my mind a thousand times
Though I forget the channel.

But I am back in my corner with ice packs and water
The champ?s right hook changing my good side to bad.
Too late to make a run for the van
The doc leans in timidly asking about my health plan
I can see the referee wants to go home
(homey?s got a wife and family)
And my detractors clap their hands and blow their smoke
(Headline news in next day?s sportspage.)
With every second that goes by
I don?t mind my swollen eyes.

?Cause I bet on myself and I?m making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I?m dying
But I?ve got a nest egg that?s hatching in the final round.

And as I fall to the floor I don?t feel so hardcore
My teeth swinging loose like a drunk girl?s caboose
My boys in the corner are pensive and somber
And Father O?Reilly is crossing himself more and more

I can see the referee want to go home
(Homey?s got a wife and family)
And my detractors move their feet and blow their smoke
(Headline news in next day?s sportspage).

?Cause I bet on myself and I?m making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I?m dying
But I?ve got a nest egg that?s hatching in the final round.

And the room spins round and round?

The victory party?s at my place
After my loss and my disgrace.

?Cause I bet on myself and I?m making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I?m dying
But I?ve got a nest egg that?s hatching in the final round.

You should?ve never come back.

  • MUDVAYNE SLAM RADIO WITH THEIR FASTEST-RISING SINGLE YET
    "DO WHAT YOU DO" IS #1 MOST ADDED AT ACTIVE ROCK AND #2 MOST ADDED AT MODERN ROCK BAND OPENS UP TICKET SALES AT ALL OUTLETS (Monday, September 29) AND PARTNERS WITH BESTBUY TO ADD A FREE LIVE WEBCAST OF THEIR CONCERT TO FAN CLUB MEMBERS MUDVAYNE--one of the most creative and distinctive bands in the aggressive music world with sales exceeding 5 million units worldwide--have slammed onto the charts with "Do What You Do," the fastest-rising single of their career. Garnering over 75 radio adds out of the box--in the first 36 hours the track became available this week--the song is #1 most added at the Active Rock chart and #2 most added at Modern Rock.  As the band prepare to release THE NEW GAME--their first studio album in three years, due out November 18 via Epic Records--the band is working even harder to get the best possible deal directly to their fans in light of the tough economy by opening up ticket sales of their upcoming tour to all outlets and partnering with Best Buy to add a free live web cast of their concert to fan club members who pre-order the album at bestbuy.com/mudvayne.  "We want fans that cannot afford to see us live or that live outside our tour markets to still get the benefits of our ‘The Album Is The TicketTM' program," says singer Chad Gray, "and by adding the live webcast and releasing ticket sales to the general public, we are now able to offer fans even more value and options for their money in this rough financial time." The concert webcast will be from one of the tour stops (TBA) on the first leg of "The New Game Tour 2008."  Meanwhile, all tickets will be released at all outlets by Monday, September 29th. All current ‘The Album Is The Ticket' members are entitled to a free meet & greet at their selected show. The current dates for "The New Game Tour 2008" are as follows.  Note: All dates subject to change.
