Dore Soul - My Book Lyrics

He lets the morning paper be the comfort that he needs
Reading of the day's drug tragedies
Reminds him that it's okay to sell again

So off to school he goes history his Holy Ghost
Teacher in disguise telling all his students lies

And when you said I'll teach you
Did you know you you'd be a page in my book
As another dirty crook

Playing as wise man telling stories of the old familiar
White lies turn to powder puffs of smoke to sell
Your life and start again

Wife and kids sit alone as father does his time
The lesson that you'll learn will be the one thing
You forgot to tell

And when you said I'll teach you
Did you know you you'd be a page in my book
As another dirty crook
