Lyrics
Mom & Dad
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.
Someone said they made some noise
The cops have shot some girls & boys
You'll sit home & drink all night
They looked too weird...it served
Them right
Mama! Mama!
Someone said they made some noise
The cops have shot some girls & boys
You'll sit home & drink all night
They looked too weird...it served
Them right
Ever take a minute just to show a real
Emotion
In between the moisture cream & velvet
Facial lotion?
Ever tell your kids you're glad that
They can think?
Ever say you loved 'em? Ever let 'em
Watch you drink?
Ever wonder why your daughter looked
So sad?
It's such a drag to have to love a plastic
Mom & dad
Mama! Mama!
Your child was killed in the park today
Shot by the cops as she quietly lay
By the side of the creeps she knew...
They killed her too.
