about

In the hope that one day there will be no such thing as child abuse.

lyrics

Kevin keeps his secrets to himself uh-huh
Always has a smile for everybody else
Doesn't lose his temper or raise an angry voice uh-huh
Kevin keeps his secrets
he doesn't have a choice

CHORUS
Plus or minus 8 milligrams of morphine
Higher than anybody's high
Letting down way below the normal
Gotta get ready for the next time

People call it habit this abuse uh-huh
When someone hits a child there's never an excuse
Kevin spent his childhood hiding from his fears uh-huh
He doesn't even know that
he's been hiding all these years

Plus or minus 8 milligrams of morphine
Higher than anybody's high
Letting down way below the normal
Gotta get ready for the next time
Gotta get ready for the next time

BRIDGE
Someday There will be no next time
Someday There may be a lifetime of
Somedays
Someday
Someday
Someday / 8 milligrams
Someday / 8 milligrams
Someday / 8 milligrams
Gotta get ready for the next time
Someday / 8 milligrams
Gotta get ready for the next time
Someday / 8 milligrams
Gotta get ready for the next time
Someday
