about

I hope you will enjoy this ye olde track. Please don't judge the recording too harshly. It was still on analog 4 track back then.

lyrics

Morgan grew up in the great North East
Playing with what friends he had
in the city streets
He never learned to play those little boy sports
He'd always get picked last
on the basketball courts

Morgan's family was something to fear
His mother was a crack addict,
His dad was into beer
But they split apart-early on
He stayed with his mom

But he didn't let that get him down,
No he didn't let that get him down

Morgan had dreams ----
He'd be the most popular guy,
this world's ever seen
He'd be a radio personality, or maybe do TV
That's what-he would be

Morgan's mother would sing him to sleep
Scary songs about-monsters and creeps
Then he met a guy, who's mom did the same
Freemen-was his name

They both had dreams ----
They'd be the most popular guys,
this world's ever seen
They'd be radio personalities, or maybe to TV
That's what-they would be

BRIDGE: Why didn't you love me mom? (4x)

They tried their hands-at real estate
They found out soon, it wasn't too great
During the 70's, they were disco kings
They wore-belbottoms, and stupid things

Then sometime in the 80's some guy asked for their names
He said, "Morgan and Freemen, will you host the Badwill Games?"
They didn't realize that their dream had come
They were-just too dumb

Now they're on all day, all night
They're an annoying sight
Their names shine in the night sky
They never shut-up
Not on your luck
They've become-household names

They're quite a team ----
They're the most popular guys,
this world's ever seen
They do radio, TV, even lounge singing
They are-quite a team

Why didn't you love me mom?
It doesn't matter anymore
What's with that chainsaw mom?
Please don't kill me, I'm a celebrity, I'm making millions,
Hosting the Badwill Games.
