from Mother
They teach you to respect... Makes you always want to please Mother
Mother
The one who keeps you warm The one who keeps you warm And shelters you
from harm And
shelters you from harm Watch out she'll stunt your mind She'll open up
your mind 'Til you emulate
her kind To make you good and make you kind Is that Mother? Mother
Downstairs I don't know Downstairs I don't know If it's the springs in
her bed Why I feel safe in
my bed Or her joints I hear When I know I'm alone Creaking overhead She
must be watching
overhead Mother Mother
She'll twist the words you speak She'll kiss and say goodbye If she
thinks you're near escape If
you want to go away Mother Mother
So she clutches at her brood So she gathers up her brood And sits across
its face And smiles into
their face She sucks up all its energy She beams down vital energy And
smothers their last breath
She gave us out first breath Oh Mother Mother
The thing you grow to hate The love you won't forget
