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.

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.
