Lyrics to Why Take The Pain

[Verse 1]

I've got all the symptoms, Doctor can't you see?

Of an affliction that's slowly killin' me

And all these problems need a little chemical solvin'

The best cure I've found is gettin' lost in oxycontin



[Chorus]

Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?

I've got a terminal case of the ole' heartache and a script that I need filled

So cure me or kill me, or her memory will

Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?



[Verse 2]

Doctor all I'm askin' for is a little white cure

I just gotta get high enough to get over her

So gimme somethin' stronger than a little Advil

'Cause if you cannot cure me, don't you know my dealer will



[Chorus]

Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?

I've got a terminal case of the ole' heartache and a script that I need filled

So cure me or kill me, or her memory will

Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?
