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
'Til I stepped outside in 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, I'll let it swing
And do its thing to this house of pain
I got some blue tip matches and a song to sing
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain, yeah
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 all right
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain
You see, critics' words previously residing in my head
Have found their way inside this house
And I've locked them there instead
Successfully forgetting all the names and the deeds they've done
I 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'm bringing down this house of pain
A whole lot of hurt from a raggedy dusty past
Is in the rubble of the house of pain, yeah
I can't tell the future, but if I ever build a new one
I got a strong foundation, it'll hold up tight
I may never be the same, but that's all right
'Cause I'm bringing down the house of pain
Bring, oh yeah, bring, I'm gonna bring it on down
Bringing down the house of pain, I'll bring it on down
Bring, bring, bringing down the house of pain
I'm gonna huff (huff) and puff (puff) and blow your house down, yeah
Bringing down the house of pain
Bring, bring, oh yeah, bringing down the house of pain
