Lyrics:
Ladies and gentlmen.
The Violent Femmes.
Come witness
the beauty of their degradation.
Mothers bring you sons.
Mothers bring your daughters
your eye?
While you pretend not to notice
All the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over
As you leave the Theatre
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
Ladies and gentlmen.
The violent femmes.
Come witness
The beauty of their degradation.
Mothers bring you sons.
Mothers bring your daughters to this
I still your son
You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child
But no one tells me
Dancing underneath the ceiling
Leave the bar the theatre's closing
Make a wall of your religion
Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ
Mary mary
mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter
Come on to the theatre
Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor's life for me
A high silk hat and a silver cane
A watch of gold with a diamond chain
bucks and angels
High in the theatre
In the sky
So I ran to my mother
I said,
'Mom take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen
Fly so high?'
I'll fart in your general direction! Your mother was a
hamster and you father smelt of eldiberry!!!!
Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
NO!
mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter
to the system
Silver screen convinced you you're a rebel
Only enough for you to stay in your cell
I am my own bloody heroin
Water's thinner than estrogen
Animals
You're not my eater
I'm not your food
Love you for God
Love you for the mother
Eat me
In the space
Within my heart
Love you for God
Love
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
The King of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the Queen
Oh Blessed Mother we pray to Thee
Thanks for the miracle of Your Rosary
Only You can hold back
Your Holy Son's hand
Long enough for the whole world
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better.
The King of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the Queen
Ooh, ah
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in
say no more, I gave those for our mother's love
(Mom, I see so much love in your heart
The times when you're going through changes
Hoping
Ooh, ah
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in
world so do your best
Head for the hills and forget the rest
Forward thinkers they're the lucky ones
They're all stocked up with food and guns
Mercury
and slow
Does your mother know?
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young
to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now
Mind of the storm
A trusted device
For Windshield Wiper Rex
The raindrops gang
ESP lips
Speak beyond the truth
Join the party
No
You're scrapbook's filled with pictures of all your leading men
Well baby don't put my picture in there with them
Don't make us some little girl's
kissed his mother's hands
Whispered, "Mother, still your tears,
For remember the soul of the universe
Willed a world and it appeared."
sister
Hey, come back, tryin', believein'
Hey, mother, father, dreamer
Don't you know that I'm alive for you
I'm your sevenths son
And when lightin'
