If pain was money 
I would be a rich man 
If pain was money 
I would be a rich man 
It'd be like living in the desert 
The house would be full of sand 
Listen 

If pain was money 
I would have a whole lot of friends 
If pain was money 
I would have a whole lot of friends 
They'd all come to see me 
My house would be full again 

If money had a reason 
Other than tryin' to live a life 
If money had a reason 
Other than tryin' to live a life 
The homeless could buy a castle 
And we all could sleep at night 

Talkin' 'bout pain 
Talkin' 'bout pain 
Talkin' about pain, yeah 
Pain in the street 
Pain in my heart 
Pain in my home 
Pain in my schools, ya'all 
Pain in the welfare line 
Pain, oh 
Not enough money 
Talkin' 'bout pain 
Not enough lovin', no 
Talkin' 'bout pain 
Let me tell ya 
Everywhere I go 
People don't understand 
I got money 
I got fame 

Talkin' 'bout pain 
Talkin' 'bout pain 
Pain in the White House 
Pain in a, pain, pain, pain 
Pain in the church yard
