Lyrics

What Would Your Mother Say

What would your mother say?
If she knew where you were
If she could see you now
What would it do to her?
If she could see you when you're eating your prey
What would your mother say?

What would your mother think?
If she could see your friends
If she could see your means
If she could see your ends
If she could see you when you're right on the brink
What would your mother think?

She raised you up believing in the sanctity of reason
And the genius of the golden rule
And you never dared to tell her
You found something in the cellar that
Just beat the living hell out of school
Now she's out there in the suburbs
With her ornamental peaches
And a picture on her mantel
Of a modern mothers dream
All neat and clean

What would your mother do?
If see could see the lines
If she could see the scars
If she could read your mind
If she could see you when you're broken in two
