Milktoast - Helmet & House of Pain

House Of Pain Anthem I'm a wood peckin' peckerwood Take me out, ya never could Act up in my neighbourhood You better not, my aim is good The House Of Pain is not a gang Just a funky Irish name A Celtic savage makin' cabbage With corn beef on the side Irish pride is what I got I got alot so don't dispute it Constantly I'm suited If ya got a gun then shoot it Pick any beat I rock it I'm always in the pocket You try to ill, I grab my gat And now you see my cock it Next I pull the trigger I don't care if you're bigger You try to con yourself you're bulletproof But how ya figure? The caps that I'll be poppin' They'll have your body droppin' You thought you knew the deal But now you feel your heartbeat stoppin' I'm moppin' up the comp That's short for compitition I write my lyrics like The Irish mob in Hell's Kitchen The House Of Pain in effect, y'all I say the House Of Pain is in effect You know the House Of Pain is in effect y'all And anyone that steps up in gettin' wrecked I'm a beer drinkin' fighter The bike in Easy Rider I only roll my spliffs With the extra easy whiters Papers to vapors Is what you'll all be catchin' Meanwhile I'll be snatchin' Up your hoes and all your dough The styles that I'll be kickin' You know they're finger lickin' Good, the peckerwood never could play the victim Only the offender I go out on a bender Drink a case of brew And then disgrace the crew But only if it's mickeys I never wear no dickeys Only wear the Levi's My whole family cries

It's a little past suppertime I'm still out on the porch step sittin' on my behind Waitin' for you Wonderin' if everything was alright Momma said, "Come in boy, don't waste your time" I said, "I've got time Well, he'll be here soon" Five years old and talkin' to myself Where were you, where'd you go? Daddy, can't you tell? I'm not tryin' to fake it and I ain't the one to blame No, there's no one home in my house of pain And I didn't write these pages and my script's been rearranged No, there's no one home in my house of pain No, there's no one home in my house of pain Wasn't I worth the time? A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime and all the time I looked up to you I paced my room a million times And all I ever got was one big line, the same old lie How could you? Well, I was eighteen and still talkin' to myself Where were you, where'd you go? Daddy, can't you tell? I'm not tryin' to fake it and I ain't the one to blame No, there's no one home in my house of pain And I didn't write these pages and my script's been rearranged No, there's no one home in my house of pain No, there's no one home in my house of pain I'm not tryin' to fake it and I ain't the one to blame No, there's no one home in my house of pain And I didn't write these pages and my script's been rearranged No, there's no one home in my house of pain (no, there's no one home) No, there's no one home in my house of pain (no, there's no one home) (And I'm alone again) No, there's no one home in my house of pain (no, there's no one home) No, there's no one home in my house of pain (no, there's no one home) (And I'm alone again) Well, if I learned anything from this, is How to live on my own

Say you're gonna leave me 'Cause I only tie you up I always loved you tender But you only like it rough Woman bound for glory Why you're leavin' me again? Gonna pack your bags And leave this house of pain Heartaches all around me How many times we tried Said she tried to leave me But her hands were always tied If I had it all to do I'd keep it just the same Gonna fix it so you never leave This house of pain
