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
