What Hope Have I Lyrics

They told me A with a K is a bad man's,
big bad gun.
B with the C was a sad man,
calles a good one's look.
C with the D is a drug,
puts the devil in your head.
E with the F is written in stone,
see it seems you forget.
From A down to Z,
my country taught me, showed me, told me:
Give myself an education.
Find myself a place to live in.
Do myself a better life,
oh lord, what hope have I.
Give myself an education.
Find myself a church to pray in.
Do myself a better life,
oh lord, what hope have I.

I with an A is a gangster at High Wall,
that has the world for me.
J with the K is the man
that could lift me up,
set me free.
L and M are the last two by name,
they can lead me to play.
And N with the O,
you don't listen, you know,
is it the way that it's said?

From A down to Z,
my country taught me, showed me, told me:
Give myself an education.
Find myself a place to live in.
Do myself a better life,
oh lord, what hope have I.
Give myself an education.
Find myself a church to pray in.
Do myself a better life,
oh lord, what hope have I.
Q is the long in line
for those who have nothing.
A peaceful man who makes money,
from another man's suffering.
S is for stones that are thrown at those,
who are different than weak.
Oh tears, God knows the price is cheap.

From A down to Z,
my country taught me, showed me, told me:
Give myself an education.
Find myself a place to live in.
Do myself a better life,
oh lord, what hope have I.
Give myself an education.
Find myself a church to pray in.
Do myself a better life,
oh lord, what hope have I.
