The Prize is the Punishment

(Surimi):　 Pain is a great motivator, coach, if you will. "Get out there and fight" or "Get in there and fight." 

Forty-eight flavors and they're all alcohol.
 The prize is the punishment.
  The prize is the punishment in that insane world.
 The prize is the punishment.
  It's "Here, this'll cure what ails you."

And it's "Thanks, Coach. Thanks, Coach."

And there is no goal to go. Done. Done. Done. The Finish Line. And no one won.

"Thanks, Coach. Thanks."
