The rest is just the main riff

A thorn in my side

and you live just to pull me down

rusted nail I stepped on this infection

A thorn in my side

You're full

I think so

of Anger

You need to sit down

and stay down

these things you want but don't get

Is that fair?

I don't think so

A sure thing that you can count on

a big depression

Your praise is two faced

and you're cut down my friend
