Songtekst
They told me A with a K is a bad man's big bad gun
B with the C is what a sad man calls a good woman
C with the D is a drug puts the devil in your head
And E with the F it's written in stone you see it seems we forget
From A down to Z my country taught me, showed me, told me:
To give myself an education
Find myself a place to live in
To bring myself a better life
oh Lord, what hope have I
To give myself a job to work in
Find myself a church to pray in
To bring myself a better life
oh Lord, what hope have I
G with an H is a gangster at High Wall that hides the world from me
and J with the K stood for one man who could lift me up,
set me free
L and M are the last of my men they try to lead me to bed
And N with the O, you don't listen, you know, so many ways that it's said
From A down to Z my country taught me, showed me, told me:
To give myself an education
Find myself a place to live in
To bring myself a better life
oh Lord, what hope have I
To give myself a job to work in
Find myself a church to pray in
To bring myself a better life
oh Lord, what hope have I
Q with the lost in line for those who have nothing
And P is for a man that makes money from another man's suffering
S is for stones that are thrown at those who are different and weak
Oh tears come easy these days Lord knows the price is cheap
From A down to Z my country taught me, showed me, told me:
To give myself an education
Find myself a place to live in
To bring myself a better life
oh Lord, what hope have I
To give myself a job to work in
Find myself a church to pray in
To bring myself a better life
oh Lord, what hope have I
