Pain puts you at a disadvantage It's inconvenient Don't let your body betray you With this physical torment It's mind over matter got my mind over matter Mind over matter got my mind over my matter yeah Heartache backache toothache and headache Vexation of the spirit Cigarette burns cold hours for hours My training helps me through it People with weak hearts should go into training I don't let pain deter me Sticks and stones may break my bones But they will never hurt me It's mind over matter got my mind over matter Mind over matter got my mind over my matter yeah Mind over matter makes lean times fatter
