Lyrics
Mother Stands for Comfort
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.
She knows that I've been doing something wrong
But she won't say anything
She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying
Because
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
It breaks the cage, and fear escapes and takes possession
Just like a crowd rioting inside
(Make me do this, make me do that, make me do this, make me do that)
Am I the cat that takes the bird?
To her the hunted, not the hunter
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
Mother hides the madman
Mother will stay mum
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
Mother hides the madman
Mother will stay mum
Stands for comfort
