"The Pain Of Pain" lyrics - YO LA TENGO

There's a man, father of daughters
A man without a steady job
Through the years his plans are all empty
Tries to speak but his voice is hard

What could I say to that?
Courage I've never had to show
Time will come before I'm ready to face it
Breaking down all around me
Nothing I do is right

There was a man, forced to a flat land
Dreamed of returning to his home
He called to remind him of leaving
[?]

What could I say to that?
The courage I've never had to show
Times will come before I'm ready to face them
Breaking down all around me
Nothing I do is right
