You know that you never gave me a chance to prove myself
 And I never thought that my life was worth your wealth
 You never said to me anything encouraging that I could see
 It's difficult to cure the pain that I've had to endure

I always tried to listen
 even when I disagreed with you
 Selfish disposition makes it hard
 for me to respect anything you do
 Then you tried to push me,
 but you weren't strong enough to get the job done
 Then you tried to hit me,
 but the back of your hand just isn't quick enough

You are a thorn in my side,
 all my life you never left me alone
 Thorn in my side, in your mind you wish I never were born
 Thorn in my side, through it all I think you pushed me to fail
 Thorn in my side, it's about time you're recognized
 for your lies and your worthless alibis

It's been a long time waiting for the judgment day
 So I can cast away
 The thorn that you stuck so deep inside of me
 It's ancient history
 You're always acting like a king of kings
 Like you were a god
 You wear a crown of thorns like a hat on your head
 My firing squad will put an end to your facade
 Like a thorn in my side
