Pop Rock, nice brass and interesting ending
Sydney Singer songwriter
I am a songwriter and I write because it is there and I can. I write a mixture of silly love songs and social comment as I think we need both.
Story behind the song

The play “Something for the Pain”
Was written M.Haines and performed by
Kick Performance Group.

(Verse 1)
Midnight, she wakes in a terror freaking
She hears the voice whisper in the hall
She can’t believe the weird things they’re saying
Part of her knows they’re not there at all
(Chorus)
Please give me something
Give me something
Give me something for, the pain
Please give me something
Give me something
Please give me something for, the pain
(verse 2)
Playground, the girls who are cool are speaking
She hears the taunts and the names they call
She can’t believe the cruel things they're saying
She wishes she wasn’t here at all
(Chorus)
Please give me something
Give me something
Give me something for, the pain
Please give me something
Give me something
Please give me something for, the pain
(verse 3)
Bus stop, she sits in a huddle freaking
She is alone when the madness calls
She sees the pills and she hears them saying
They’ll only stop if you eat us all
(bridge)
Eat us all, Eat us all
(Eat us)
Eat us all
(Eat us)
Eat us all
(Eat us)
Eat us all
