You know that you never gave me a chance to prove myself And I never thought that my life was worth your wealth You never said to me anything encouraging that I could see It's difficult to cure the pain that I've had to endure I always tried to listen Even when I disagreed with you Selfish disposition makes it hard For me to respect anything you do Then you tried to push me But you weren't strong enough to get the job done Then you tried to hit me But the back of your hand just isn't quick enough You are a thorn in my side All my life you never left me alone Thorn in my side, in your mind you wish I never were born Thorn in my side, through it all I think you pushed me to fail Thorn in my side, it's about time you're recognized For your lies and your worthless alibis It's been a long time waiting for the judgment day So I can cast away The thorn that you stuck so deep inside of me It's ancient history You're always acting like a king of kings Like you were a god You wear a crown of thorns like a hat on your head My firing squad will put an end to your facade Like a thorn in my side
