lyrics

Mother mother dearest
My aren’t you keeping busy
Stirring up all the pots
And striking down all the pans

Lining up your firing squad
Picking your targets one by one
But you and your great big lapdog
You can’t hurt me no more

And now it’s a he said she said they said
Wait who said? What-to-when?
I think we both know, but only we both know

Mother mother dearest
Do you miss your golden parrot?
Well he got out of his cage
And he won’t repeat you anymore
Repeat you anymore

Isn’t that strange?
My how time changes things
Or some of us anyway

I used to be afraid of God
I thought He was like you
Ruling and controlling me through fear
But I found out that’s not true

But for our sake
Oh for our sake
Oh mother mother dearest
Let’s hope God is nothing like you
