12 Steps by Violent Femmes Lyrics

I think I'm powerless over this
Only a power greater than me
Could store my synergy

I took my will into no will but thy will
Made a moral inventory of my moral story

One step, two step, three step, four
Five, sex, seven, on the eighth step, more
Nine step, ten step, eleven step twelve
Only twelve step get me out of hell

I was wrong, I say to myself
And I say to everybody else
My character needs a caretaker
Under God
Who would remove my shortcomings and my highgoings
I made a list of everyone I dissed and pissed on
And I will make amends to correct this

One step, two step, three step, four
Five, sex, seven, on the eighth step, more
Nine step, ten step, eleven step twelve
Only twelve step get me out of hell
T-W-E-L-V-E S-T-E-P-S

I will do it directly unless this causes injury
I will admit to be full of shit as soon as I'm aware of it
Seek through prayer and meditation to keep God in communication
Now my spirit is week, I say wake up in love and go to sleep in hate

One step, two step, three step, four
Five, sex, seven, on the eighth step, more
Nine step, ten step, eleven step twelve
Only twelve step get me out of hell

I am getting powerless over this
I have become powerless over this
I have become powerless over this
