2. P.A.I.N short for: Propaganda And Information Network. Sort your tags to -> P.A.I.N
Established in 1995, The Propaganda And Information Network (as P.A.I.N is officially named) was first put together from the ashes of two seminal free festival bands: AOS3 and Radical Dance Faction. Brought together to carry on the same Anarcho-style rantings, but with a much harder, Punk Rock attitude to it (less toking and more drinking!) within the first 7 days of forming P.A.I.N managed to book up a 3 week tour, literally writing the set in soundchecks.
The band went from strength to strength releasing their first live demo (Prison’s no Place for Punishment – a real collector’s item these days,) within their first month of existence. Well that was 11 years ago. Since then P.A.I.N. have released 2 studio albums, 2 cd singles and a couple of live albums, and are currently working on a new studio album and a P.A.I.N. in Dub album.
There are a few gigs springing up around the country and more tours coming up in a couple of weeks so things are going great guns at the moment. “Sharpen your cutlasses boys, theres a mighty stormy sea ahead!!”
Members of P.A.I.N can also be found in less (London, England), SUICIDE BID, LEGION OF DYNAMIC DISCHORD, RUBELLA BALLET and ERIS.

Suffering
P.A.I.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If greed has tied your wings to the earth
Until your bones become one with the weeds
You'll build a legacy of filth
As you bathe in debris
What are their sorrows worth in your game
Cash out on ultimatums and shame
Take what you can
But I can see
That you'll forever be
Lost and forgotten
I know you'll wither alone
Breaking your promises
I know you'll wither alone
Have you no
Guilt from the lies that you sold
Or did your sins lead you to sell your soul
I bet your body's not your own
Take advantage of your weak links
You have no sense of what is coming
Until the color leaves your eyes
Until you die
So you can take what you can
I know you drive a hard bargain
But I can see
That you'll forever be
Lost and forgotten
I know you'll wither alone
Breaking your promises
I know you'll wither alone
Fake and resentful
A pharisee
Hateful polluted impurity
You thrive off of rolling dice
Betting your life
Is a small price to pay
As you rot and decay
But you're a keystone
A pathetic void of greed
Providing fear
Summoning suffering
Are you proud of where you are now
What are their sorrows worth
If this is how you want to live your life
Painting victims on a warped die
Then so be it you were born to the game
And now you'll burn in flames
Thus suffering
Are you proud
Of where you are now
Soon you'll be dead
From what you con out
Forever lost and blind
Until you die
Take what you can
I know you drive a hard bargain
But I can see
That you'll forever be
Take what you can
I know you drive a hard bargain
But I can see
That you'll forever be
Lost and forgotten
Lost and forgotten
The lyrics of P.A.I.N.'s song "Suffering" are a scathing denunciation of greed, deceit, and manipulation. The song describes a person who uses any means necessary to gain wealth, status, and power, even if it means deceiving and exploiting others. The lyrics assert that this kind of behavior may provide a temporary sense of satisfaction or dominance, but, ultimately, it leads to a life of emptiness and isolation.
The lines "What are their sorrows worth/If greed has tied your wings to the earth" highlight how the endless pursuit of profit restricts the ability to empathize with others' struggles, making little room for compassion. The phrase "You'll build a legacy of filth/As you bathe in debris" emphasizes the toxic nature of this path, where the individual's behavior makes them to the symbol of decay and ruin.
The lines "Fake and resentful/A pharisee/Hateful polluted impurity" show how the person's selfish actions result in a morally depraved existence, devoid of the joy, love, and peace that come with living an authentic life. The song ends with the lines, "Soon you'll be dead/From what you con out/Forever lost and blind/Until you die/Take what you can," which is powerful advice to recognize their wrongdoing before it gets too late.

What are their sorrows worth
If this is how you want to live your life
Painting victims on a warped die
Then so be it you were born to the game
And now you'll burn in flames
Thus suffering
The suffering you inflict on others is meaningless in light of the reckless, destructive path you have chosen to follow. You were born to the destructive game of your own design, and your actions will ultimately result in your own downfall.
Are you proud of where you are now
Soon you'll be dead
From what you con out
Forever lost and blind
Until you die
You should not take pride in what you have achieved, for it is built on the suffering of others, and will lead only to your own ruin and oblivion.
Lost and forgotten
You will be abandoned and alone, your memory a stain on the world you were meant to uplift.

Denying seriously ill and injured people pain meds is the real crime.
@growtopiahax2155
For real or the people just playing it off or thinking people are exadurating
@lynnturman8157
Chronic pain has increased because people can't get prescribed pain killers anymore. If you try to get prescribed opiods nowadays, they treat you like you're a heroin addict.
@thejoker220
