Count the high schools, city halls
They ain't think tanks
It's just a great big old world
That ain't saying thanks
I went up to downtown
To get myself used
Where every sign of love
Is just a sign that you lose
I've seen everything twice
(They don't wanna have to know)
I been everywhere
(They don't wanna have to care)
Had to pay the price
(They don't wanna have to)
They don't wanna have to care
I'd rather feel this pain
Than be nowhere
I'd rather feel this pain
Than be nowhere
Hang me up a jury
Make'em say what I owe
Summon up the yes-men
Have'em all say "No"
They been stomping
Their little feet
To the rattle of gold
Always something sweet to eat
Sitting down with the sold
Who've seen everything twice
(They don't wanna have to know)
Who've been everywhere
(They don't wanna have to care)
Let you know the price
(They don't wanna have to)
They don't wanna have to hear
I'd rather feel this pain
Than be nowhere
I'd rather feel this pain
Than be nowhere
I'd rather feel this pain
In this world that I live in
I'd rather feel this pain
'Cause nowhere ain't living
Feel this pain
I'd rather feel this pain
I'd rather feel this pain
Than be nowhere
I'd rather feel this pain
Feel this pain
I'd rather feel this pain
Than be nowhere
I'd rather feel this pain
Feel this pain
Feel this pain
Than be nowhere
I'd rather feel this pain
Feel this pan
Than be nowhere
