Woke up a quarter to four
And I took my change off the floor
Then I packed my suitcase with a brand new face
Threw myself out the door
Too many dues to pay
And it was raining rusty nails on a sunny day
So I wrote a postcard to the wrecking yard
Saying, "I won't be coming in today"
I'm alright
Yeah, I'm ok
Well, I roll into town on a tumbleweed
And I will be blowing on the breeze tonight
Of feeling no pain
No, I'll never be no billionaire
And you might not believe it
But I just don't care
I don't give a goddamn about the green I make
As long as nobody takes my cake
I get so goddamn down sometimes
I like to roll down the windows when I take a drive
Feel the breeze with the bottle up between my knees
'Til it gets tough to see the line
Hey, I'm alright
Said, I'm okay
So get off my back with your heart attacks
'Cause there ain't an ambulance in sight
And I'm feeling no pain
No pain
I hate every cop in this town
Always throwing their weight around
Sometimes it's like I got a sign taped to my back
Saying, "Kick this poor boy around"
I live on beer and cigarettes
It hasn't seemed to kill me yet
But when that moment comes I won't be afraid
Just one less clown in this parade
I'm alright
Yeah, I'm ok
And I got my own personal philosophy
I won't mess with you
If you don't mess with me
And I don't want to fight
I got nothing to gain
And I've been all over
This whole world
From the hurricane to the Tilt-A-Whirl
And I'm feeling no pain
Feeling no pain
I'm feeling no pain
