Morphine Lyrics

have been alone in this cruel world
Never had much schooling
Hard knocks are all I’ve ever known
And must say I’ve been a fool

But still some smart folks
Supposed to be so swell
Would be surprised to know the meaning
Of the word that I’m about to spell

M is for the million kicks it gave me
O is for the oaths I’ve sworn to quit
R is for the rocks I’ve spent to get it P is for the pain I’ve got from it
H is for the hell on earth it gave me
I is the illusions I have seen
N is ‘no’ I’ll never use it
E is for the end that all dopes meet

Put them all together they spell ‘morphine’
A word that’s ruined this world today

Put them all together they spell ‘morphine’
A word that’s ruined my world today
