mother mother mother mother

dry your smoke stung eyes

fire burning children yearning

daddy's home she cries

her hands bled

don't care what she says

sleeping red whispers in her head

they strip her away naked and afraid

told her to get up from where she lay behave

oh babe you're disgraceful

be grateful be grateful

break the lock

hide the key

did you ever think your days would be this easy

i built this life

it's all for you

sold stories from your mouth and wrote them for you

father father father father

can't you see what you've done

mother's crying she's been trying

but she just feels so numb

you drew lines

disregarded the ties with the sky down from up on high

you scraped the body clean

grab all you could glean

rob her from her past

ask her why she's always last

but you're the one who did that

break the lock

hide the key

did you ever think your days would be this easy

i built this life

it's all for you

sold stories from your mouth and wrote them for you

break the lock

hide the key

did you ever think your days would be this easy

i built this life

it's all for you

stole stories from your mouth and wrote them for it

break the lock

hide the key

did you ever think your days would be this easy

i built this life

it's all for you

so stories from my

mouth they wrote them for you
