Lyrics:

“Feel No Pain” peaked at #56 on the U.K. Singles chart and #59 on Billboard’s R&B chart, staying on the chart for 8 weeks in 1993.
Mamma been laid off
Pappa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh, can't get a job
Billy can't get a job (Oh, yeah)
They got to listen to the blues

Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home
And listen to the blues

Pappa been laid off (Oh, Pappa)
Mamma been laid off (Oh, Mamma)
Billy can't get a job for too long, too long
Don't let them lose, we got to give them a chance
It's going to come back on everyone
If you don't make them dance
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues

There's nothing sacred, breathing hatred (Oh, yeah)
We have to face it, no one can take it
And feel no pain (Feel no pain)

Mamma been laid off
Pappa been laid off
My brother's been laid off
For more than two years now
Ooh, can't get a job
Billy can't get a job
Ooh, they got to listen to the blues

Help them to strive
Help them to move on
Help them to have some future
Help them to live long
Help them to live life
Help them to smile
Don't let them stay home
And listen to the blues

One day we're going to wake up and the ghetto's all around
All over, my friend, have you ever seen a man break down?
Do you know how, how that feels?
To walk the street with your head held high (With the head held high)
Oh Lord, have mercy
Did you ever see a man break down?

There's nothing sacred, breathing hatred
We have to face it, no one can take it
And feel no pain

Ooh, did you ever see a man break down?
