BRIDGE:
Better burn a Bmcandle bright
Raise up some Emghosts tonight
They Bmsay I made my money messing up young minds
Emstupped the congregation and I left em all cryin
In the Bmrain, yeah left em with their pain
EmExit your boy with his ill-gotten gains
Well the Bmblood runs deep and the blood runs cold
As the Emknife lifts so another sucker is Bmborn
Thrown into this world alone
EmDoctor came a'knockin wasn't nobody homeG  
Ease the Apain
CHORUS:
Don't call the Bmdoctor
I'm gonna get Embetter
