River Of Pain Songtext
von Primal Scream

Johnny′s home
Drunk again
Quoting from the rights of man
It's midnight

Working late
Job he hates
Rage, he can′t communicate inside him

Susan's roused from her bed
To frozen kitchen
Silent without protest

Half asleep
Food on stove
Threat and insults
A rain of blows
Screaming hell

Oh, you feel the shame
Oh, you feel the pain
When there's nothing you can do
You carry it with you


Susan tries
Her best to hide
The blues and purples around her eyes
With make up

She gets the kids
Dressed for school
They all pretend
It never happened

Little children bury deep
Awful secrets they must keep
Inside them

Damaged daughters
Damaged sons
Everything
In every one

Oh, you feel the shame
Oh, you feel the pain
When there′s nothing you can do
You carry it with you
When there′s nothing you can do
You carry it with you


Oh, you feel the shame
Oh, you feel the pain
When there's nothing you can do
You carry it with you
When there′s nothing you can do
You carry it with you

When there's nothing you can do
You carry it with you
