Lyrics Mind Over Matter - Split Enz

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 my matter
Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah

Heartache, backache, toothache and headache, vexation of the spirit
Cigarette burns, cold showers 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 my matter
Mind over matter, got my mind over matter, yeah

Mind over matter makes lean times fatter
Mind over matter makes lean times fatter, fatter, matter, oh
