[Verse 1]
When CI was only D12 years old I really mGessed myself right up
I caught my Cleft foot in a lDawn mower, cut my bGig toe half way oG7ff
And when I gCot down to the hDospital it was like GVietnam in war
We were higher than hCot balloons on mDorphine, I nearly fGlew right off the fG7loor
[Verse 2]
I flew on doCwn to that big cDity and doctor said "GMan, you've got it good,
But why do you lCook so goddamn Dhappy, what's got yGou in such a good mG7ood?"
I said "Well Cdoc, I'm higher than a tDelephone wire, you gotta gGet me some more of that stuff"
He said "You're Conly 12 years oDld son, it's probably Gbest if you sober G7up"
[Verse 3]
So I went lCooking through my tDeen years for something Gbetter than that good morG7phine
Well I tried Cmagic shrooms and aDcid, I tried cokGe and ketamiG7ne
Well I tried lCove, I tried rDeligion and I tried nGothing at aG7ll, too
I tried Cancient meditDations, and eating aGll organic fG7ood
[Verse 4]
But by 2C0 years old DI was sure I knew I waGsn't going to find G7Jesus anytime soon
So I kept that Csearch for the GDod I knew, from the age of G12 and every day on tG7hrough
[Chorus]
CMorphine, get me some of that Gmorphine
I wanna get me a Dgood, clean hit, some of that Gmedical grade shit
I wanna feel like C1942, me and my buddy in the Gbattle-front platoon
I don't want no Dwest-coast junkie HIV, but I Gwant it intravenously
Come on, Csugar daddy, won't you hook me up? I want a lGittle tiny bit but I won't ever get enough
Won't you Dplease please please please please please please,
Get me Gmore more more more more morphine
CMorphine, get me some of that Gmorphine
I wanna get me that Djunk that makes the walls melt, 
Takes away the Gpain that I thought I felt 
[Verse 5]
Well I Cheard that morphine goes strDaight to your head and I Gheard about all those nasty G7side effects
InvColuntary vomiting and Dmuscles spasms, Gpain replaces good G7orgasms
CHeard one dose causes DOCD, and I'm prGetty sure that's just what G7happened to me
CEvery single day the needle Dhit my vein, I can't Gget that drug off my G7good ol brain
[Chorus]
CMorphine, get me some of that Gmorphine
I wanna get me a Dgood, clean hit, some of that Gmedical grade shit
I wanna feel like C1942, me and my buddy in the Gbattle-front platoon
I don't want no Dwest-coast junkie HIV, but I Gwant it intravenouG7sly
Come on, Csugar daddy, won't you hook me up? I want a lGittle tiny bit but I won't ever get enough
Won't you Dplease please please please please please please,
Get me Gmore more more more more mG7orphine
CMorphine, oh I want that Gmorphine
I wanna turn into an Dmachine, I wanna shoot my Gself into a dream 
I'm gonna get so Cbloody wild and crazy,

[Verse 1]

C D G

When I was only 12 years old I really messed myself right up

C D G G7

I caught my left foot in a lawn mower, cut my big toe half way off

C D G

And when I got down to the hospital it was like Vietnam in war

C D G G7

We were higher than hot balloons on morphine, I nearly flew right off the floor

[Verse 2]

C D G

I flew on down to that big city and doctor said "Man, you've got it good,

C D G G7

But why do you look so goddamn happy, what's got you in such a good mood?"

C D G

I said "Well doc, I'm higher than a telephone wire, you gotta get me some more of that stuff"

C D G G7

He said "You're only 12 years old son, it's probably best if you sober up"

[Verse 3]

C D G G7

So I went looking through my teen years for something better than that good morphine

C D G G7

Well I tried magic shrooms and acid, I tried coke and ketamine

C D G G7

Well I tried love, I tried religion and I tried nothing at all, too

C D G G7

I tried ancient meditations, and eating all organic food

[Verse 4]

C D G G7

But by 20 years old I was sure I knew I wasn't going to find Jesus anytime soon

C D G G7

So I kept that search for the God I knew, from the age of 12 and every day on through

[Chorus]

C G

Morphine, get me some of that morphine

D G

I wanna get me a good, clean hit, some of that medical grade shit

C G

I wanna feel like 1942, me and my buddy in the battle-front platoon

D G

I don't want no west-coast junkie HIV, but I want it intravenously

C G

Come on, sugar daddy, won't you hook me up? I want a little tiny bit but I won't ever get enough

Won't you please please please please please please please,

Get me more more more more more morphine

C G

Morphine, get me some of that morphine

I wanna get me that junk that makes the walls melt,

Takes away the pain that I thought I felt

[Verse 5]

C D G G7

Well I heard that morphine goes straight to your head and I heard about all those nasty side effects

C D G G7

Involuntary vomiting and muscles spasms, pain replaces good orgasms

C D G G7

Heard one dose causes OCD, and I'm pretty sure that's just what happened to me

C D G G7

Every single day the needle hit my vein, I can't get that drug off my good ol brain

[Chorus]

C G

Morphine, get me some of that morphine

D G

I wanna get me a good, clean hit, some of that medical grade shit

C G

I wanna feel like 1942, me and my buddy in the battle-front platoon

D G G7

I don't want no west-coast junkie HIV, but I want it intravenously

C G

Come on, sugar daddy, won't you hook me up? I want a little tiny bit but I won't ever get enough

Won't you please please please please please please please,

G G7

Get me more more more more more morphine

C G

Morphine, oh I want that morphine

They're gonna call me the very next Charlie Sheen
