The Twelve Steps
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you got the money for me how come
You ain't got a problem you can't afford
I was very nearly clean you know
Cos I only had twelve steps to go
The only time I'm drink and drug free
Is when I'm going to have to pay for what I need
That's where we'll be ?
If your willpower's weak temptation's strong
Lord knows how we're going to get along
But the worst thing about your kind of disease
is you know who can charge what (else) you please ?
It's 28 days for 13 grand
Better go get myself and insurance plan
She's my man ?
I ain't got to where I'm going to
by hanging round with people like you
But then again I ain't never got
anywhere I wanted to get to
I ain't got to where I'm going to
by hanging round with people ain't my friends
But then again I ain't never got
anywhere I wanted in the end
If you got the money for me how come
You ain't got a problem you can't afford
I was very nearly clean you know
Cos I only had twelve steps to go
The only time I'm drink and drug free
Is when I get my drugs and drink for free
That's ( the mean? meal? where we'll be?) (?) not me??
If your willpower's weak temptation's strong
Lord knows how we're going to get along
And I ( don't believe ) in Jesus Christ (?)
I'd rather spend my cash on vice
28 days for 13 grand
Better go get myself and insurance plan
She's my man
(Do submitting|Peace a million things one way) (?)
Group therapy gets me depressed
Your money get(s) (banned|back) if you relapse
