Pain Train Lyrics
Train, comin’ too fast
Pain, is it really gonna last
And you still refuse to see.
We love the dollar more than the collar
That Daddy used to wear
We love to holler more than the dollar
So take us to the fair.
We love the preacher more than the teacher
We used to have in school
We saw the teacher marry the preacher
Who do you think’s the fool?
Can’t you hear it like a train, comin’ too fast
Pain, is it really gonna last
And you still refuse to see.
Pain, is it really gonna last
And you still refuse to see.
That Daddy used to wear
We love to holler more than the dollar
So take us to the fair.
We used to have in school
We saw the teacher marry the preacher
Who do you think’s the fool?
Pain, is it really gonna last
And you still refuse to see.

Why do we admire the preacher more than the teacher? This was especially true in the early 1970s. Generally, which occupation actually has more "bad people?" Excellent tune on social responsibility.
