Every Mother's Son - Pretenders[00:00:00]

I was born with my hand in a fist[00:00:13]

And my eyes shut tight[00:00:16]

Any wonder that I cannot resist[00:00:19]

Punching blindly in a fight[00:00:22]

The first time I saw swans flying to the sun[00:00:26]

I wanted to be one[00:00:33]

Like every mother's son[00:00:41]

When I saw my life had begun[00:00:44]

I wanted to be someone[00:00:47]

Like my brother and my one and only father[00:00:53]

And like every mother's son[00:01:02]

I was raised within a cause[00:01:11]

With a purpose to fulfill[00:01:14]

I was taught to defend what was mine[00:01:17]

And instructed not to kill[00:01:20]

My small mortal eyes can see eternity[00:01:24]

In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly[00:01:30]

Like every mother's son[00:01:40]

When a man showed me how to use a gun[00:01:42]

I wished I'd never need one[00:01:45]

Like my brother and my one and only father[00:01:51]

And like every mother's son[00:02:00]

Everything in domesticity[00:02:37]

Assumes it's role better than me[00:02:43]

I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down[00:02:48]

I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town[00:02:54]

Like every mother's son[00:03:01]

I've lost some and some I've won[00:03:03]

Now I'm waiting for a new dawn[00:03:07]

Like my brother and my one and only father[00:03:12]

And like every mother's son[00:03:21]
