Pain puts you at a disadvantage
It's inconvenient
Don't let your body betray you
With this physical torment

It's mind over matter got my mind over matter
Mind over matter got my mind over my matter yeah

Heartache backache toothache and headache
Vexation of the spirit
Cigarette burns cold hours for hours
My training helps me through it

People with weak hearts should go into training
I don't let pain deter me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But they will never hurt me

It's mind over matter got my mind over matter
Mind over matter got my mind over my matter yeah
Mind over matter makes lean times fatter
