Lock all the doors
Shut all the windows tight
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain
Don't look back
Everything's gonna be all right
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain

I didn't know
That I didn't have a good time
Till I stepped outside into the morning light
I may never be the same
But that's all right
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain

Bring on the wrecking ball
Let it swing, do it's thing
To this house of pain
I've got some blue-tipped matches
And a song to sing
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain
I'm gonna give myself
A little absolution
I'll pick and choose my sleepless nights
I may never be the same
But that's allright
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain

The critic's words previously
Residing in my head
Have found their way inside this house
And I've locked them there instead
Successfully forgetting all their names
And the deeds they've done
I've set the charge to blow this place
From here to kingdom come

I'll be looking back at a whole lot of
Smoke and ash
When I bring down this house of pain
A whole lot of hurt
From a raggedy dusty past
Is in the rubble of the house of pain

I can't tell the future
But if I ever build a new one
I got a strong foundation that will hold up tight
I may never be the same
But that's all right
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain

I'm gonna huff, and puff
And blow this house down
