Pain Ain't Cool

You climb the stares to floor 22
'cause you say that it's good for you
I'd be winded and pale and blue
From standing in the elevator that long

You jog from here to there
You say it keeps you pumped but I don't care
I stay in shape in my easy chair
And my remote control keeps my fingers strong

You're always the thorn in my withering torso
Only now much more so than before so
I must strain that's your golden rule
Mine's much simpler painain't cool

You eat wierd health food
Though it gives you a bad attitude
What always puts me in a good mood
Is coffee cigarettes and a candy bar

Back packing or a ten mile hike
Or the Tour De France are things I know you'll like
But if the lord had intended us to ride a bike
He would not have given us the car
Or bars or guitars

You say that I'm insane
You say I'm too far gone and how I blew it
You say in your own way "no pain no gain"
I say if it hurts don't do it
