In one of the faster songs in this record, Mark Kozelek is rather ironically and satirically making a “prayer” to God in order to express his struggles to the audience and probably to show his cynicism against religion due to his hardships
[Chorus]
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
[Verse 1]
Don't want to ask you again
Kill my girlfriend
And kill my best friend Sam
'Cause I saw them making eyes again
[Chorus]
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Oh, Lord kill the pain
[Verse 2]
Don't want to ask you again
Kill my neighbors
And all my family too
They doubt my direction
[Chorus]
Lord let it rain
Lord let it rain
Lord let it rain forever
Lord let it rain
[Verse 3]
Don't want to ask you again
Drown my country
Drown everyone but me
So I can live peacefully
Or put me to sleep here
And wake me in Japan
I want to speak a new language
[Bridge]
Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me amongst dead underground
Let me hear the whining sounds
Of a pig drown
And lead me over summery hills
To a place I like to think about
And sedate me with Tylenol pills
Oh how I love to dream about
Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me amongst life on the ground
Let me see the burning down
Of my home town
[Chorus]
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
Lord kill the pain
