Hey mother, you've gotta help me Reach for heaven, this is hell I'm searchin', lookin' for answers Wish me well, wish me well Hey father, I came here naked Never asking to be born Hey father, why did you bother Is this all there is, nothing more? In this house of pain I've got to find some other way Before I go insane I wanna go back to zero Won't listen to politicians My conditions stay the same Bleak wasteland, love rots in your hands Still we struggle on in a savage game In this house of pain I've got to find some other way Before I go insane Thrash the cage, rats in a maze There's no way out Hey mother, you've got to help me Break the chains, lemme start again Hard choosin', too much confusion I just can't get back to where I've been In this house of pain I've got to find some other way Before I go insane Break the chain...getaway In this house of pain I've got to find some other way Before I go insane I've go to know Lemme go back to zero Lemme go back to zero I wanna go back to zero
