Mother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Ooooh aah, Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Ooooh aah, Mother I'm really tired
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mother's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mother's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly
But she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and warm
Ooooh Baby
Ooooh Babe
Ooooh Babe
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall
Mother do think she's good enough
For me
Mother do think she's dangerous
To me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart
Oooh aah, mother will she break my heart
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mother's gonna check out all your girl friends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh Babe
Ooooh Baby
Ooooh Babe
You'll always be baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high.
