House Of Suffering Lyrics
in this house of suffering
i gotta let some joy in
i hear that freedom will win
oh where oh where can jah love be now
my dear, it's here in the underground
inside the hearts of your own children
in this house of suffering
i spiritualogic grin, in
one way grace is my friend
to conquer doom and sin
and all the nations lying
while all our people crying
and they stop at nothing!...nothing!...nothing!
in this house of suffering
don,t want but just one thing
got to have my origin
in this house of suffering.
i gotta let some joy in
i hear that freedom will win
oh where oh where can jah love be now
my dear, it's here in the underground
inside the hearts of your own children
in this house of suffering
i spiritualogic grin, in
one way grace is my friend
to conquer doom and sin
and all the nations lying
while all our people crying
and they stop at nothing!...nothing!...nothing!
in this house of suffering
don,t want but just one thing
got to have my origin
in this house of suffering.

Given their Rasta beliefs, it's not just a condemnation of the world, but also a plea to be returned to god and their spiritual nature: "Got to have my origin"...
On allmusic.com, I read that this song asked where can Jah love be found, and then answered itself by saying that it can be found in "the underground" punk scene. I take serious issue with that. HR had a flair for weird wordings, "It's here in the underground / Inside the hearts of your own children" means that Jah-luv is hidden within us all, even those who don't know it. The idea that HR thought "Jah Love" could be found in the hardcore scene is ludicrous; he HATED the hardcore scene and that's why he left Bad Brains so many damn times to start reggae bands.
