Lyrics: Edman
Vocal: Göran Edman


I was just a kid on the block, tried to live by the rules, made
of hardship and strain

A single bird of the flock, never one of those fools used to ?no pain ? no gain?

Nothing dear to die for, just follow the jive

Nothing left to live for, doing ?twenty to life?
Guess I'll never flee from the house of pain
They'll never set me free, cause I'm a bad madman...


See, out there, I'm a hustler
Rules are fair, I'm a rumbler

Not like in this institution, I'm a bad madman

Peace disturbed, I'm a hustler

Justice served, I'm a rumbler
Death caused by electrocution
(In the house of pain) ? I'm a bad madman


I found pleasures in games, and by way of guess
I played chess with your mind, a pair of dice and a deck

a bookie's drool down my neck
Was a dream for my kind


Freedom's like and Eagle, sailing in the blue
freedom is an open door, leading out to you
Guess I'll never flee from the house of pain

They'll never set me free, cause I'm a bad madman

Chorus...


Rags to riches all the way, makes no difference
cause we all mus play, oh much sorrow,

Robin's egg blue, growing up as a young @@#!oo

In the house of painm oh no

Tryin', tryin', tryin' to break free, tryin'...

I'm a bad madman


Chorus


In the house of pain...
