Lyrics Luther Allison

Luther Allison

Pain In The Streets

If pain was money

I would be a rich man

If pain was money

I would be a rich man

It'd be like living in the desert

The house would be full of sand

Listen

If pain was money

I would have a whole lot of friends

If pain was money

I would have a whole lot of friends

They'd all come to see me

My house would be full again

If money had a reason

Other than tryin' to live a life

If money had a reason

Other than tryin' to live a life

The homeless could buy a castle

And we all could sleep at night

Talkin' 'bout pain

Talkin' 'bout pain

Talkin' about pain, yeah

Pain in the street

Pain in my heart

Pain in my home

Pain in my schools, ya'all

Pain in the welfare line

Pain, oh

Not enough money

Talkin' 'bout pain

Not enough lovin', no

Talkin' 'bout pain

Let me tell ya

Everywhere I go

People don't understand

I got money

I got fame

Talkin' 'bout pain

Talkin' 'bout pain

Pain in the White House

Pain in a, pain, pain, pain

Pain in the church yard
