Mother Knows Best - Richard Thompson[00:00:00]
So you think you know how to wipe your own nose[00:00:06]
You think you know how to button your clothes[00:00:10]
You don't know shit if you hadn't already guessed[00:00:13]
You're just a bump on the log of life 'cause mother knows best[00:00:20]
She tells everybody she was born in a ditch[00:00:27]
She back-combs her hair 'till she looks like a witch[00:00:30]
Wolves in her train serpents suckle at her breast[00:00:34]
Don't forget to wash behind your ears 'cause mother knows best[00:00:41]
O you lost your job well ain't that a shame[00:01:07]
You got nobody but yourself to blame[00:01:11]
You deserve everything you get for such a carelessness[00:01:14]
And don't eat your peas off the knife 'cause mother knows best[00:01:21]
So your baby's hungry so your baby's sick[00:01:27]
Don't make babies that'll do the trick[00:01:31]
Put another string of barbed wire in your little love nest[00:01:34]
It's better than a cardboard box 'cause mother knows best[00:01:41]
She got a zombie army to serve her well[00:02:08]
She got a thousand bloodhounds from the gates of hell[00:02:11]
She got a hundred black horses with sulphur and coal on their breath[00:02:15]
And she rides the unbelievers down mother knows best[00:02:22]
She says "Bring me your first-born and I'll suck their blood[00:02:28]
Bring me your poor I can trample in the mud[00:02:32]
Bring me your visionaries I can put out their eyes[00:02:35]
And bring me your scholars I'll have them all lobotomised [00:02:42]
'Cause mother knows best[00:02:48]
