Suicidal Tendencies — What’s the Word?

[Intro] So what's the word? [Verse 1] I'm looking for a word that can ease the pain That we all suffer from living in a world that's insane A simple word I could shout out or blurt And that would take away all of the hurt A word to soothe your soul when the tears flow And that would make the smile on your face glow Bury your bad memories in a deep grave Free your mind from the chains of an emotional slave A word as pretty as a purple sunset A word so powerful you'll never forget That I'd be willing to do anything for you But I just need to know what to do [Chorus] I'm looking for a word, is it a secret word? I wish there was a word [Verse 2] I wish there was a word that could help you heal That could take away all the pain you feel Not asking for a word that can cure a disease Just a word to put your mind at ease I'm looking for a way to communicate That all the people on the earth can relate A way to make the confusion cease And that would bring us all some peace I'm looking for a word that won't let you down That'll give you strength when I'm not around A word that can fill you up when you're past empty A peaceful place in your mind that's is always rent free [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I got to slow down Cause too much is going down How many times can one person cry? How many times can one person die? [Chorus] I'm looking for the word, that special magic word I'm looking for the word, the secret word [Post-Chorus] So what's the word? So what's the word? So what's the word? So what's the word? So what's the word? So what's the word? [Bridge] My, my, my, another lie Why, why, why, you got to lie? So what's the word? [Verse 3] I spend too much time wondering, what the hell is wrong with me? Where all you see is joy, pain is all I see Suffocating in a world full of schemers Who are taking advantage of the hopes of the dreamers I need a word to let you know that I need help Cause sometimes I get so down on myself Trying to find my place in this madness Drowning myself in a cesspool of sadness [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I got to slow down Cause it's getting so out of hand Half of my homies that stood so proud next to me Are doing time in the state penitentiary [Outro] Lie. lie, lie, until you die Lie, lie, lie, until you die So what's the word?
