O you took my word and you took my key

You took my pride and you took my dignity

How can I still pretend

To be what a man should be

Well, whatever I say is in a book

Whatever I do there's someone there to look

You just can't shake a man

The way that I've been shook

Now is this the way it's supposed to be

Is this the way it's supposed to be

A poisoned heart and a twisted memory

O is this the way it's supposed to be

Is this the way it's supposed to be

A poisoned heart and a twisted memory

O see that lifer doing his time

If I could have his place and he'd have mine

We'd be no better off

On either side of the line

Well, you took my job and you put me to sleep

You feed me money, you treat me like a creep

Wish I could get away

But I must be in it too deep

Tell me is this the way it's supposed to be

Is this the way it's supposed to be

A poisoned heart and a twisted memory

O is this the way it's supposed to be

Is this the way it's supposed to be

A poisoned heart and a twisted memory

Well, you tell me you're going to get in touch

You send me a letter that reads like double-Dutch

You say, you're bound to lose,

You're a little such-and-such

You got my number, you got my rank

You drained my head, you drained my petrol tank

And when I die of shame

I won't even know who to thank

Now, now, is this the way it's supposed to be

Is this the way it's supposed to be

A poisoned heart and a twisted memory

O is this the way it's supposed to be

Is this the way it's supposed to be

A poisoned heart and a twisted memory
