Every Mother's Son (Demo) (Re-mastered For 'Pirate Radio') - Pretenders[00:00:01]
I was born with my hand in a fist[00:00:16]
And my eyes shut tight[00:00:20]
Any wonder that I cannot resist[00:00:23]
Punching blindly in a fight[00:00:26]
The first time I saw swans flying to the sun[00:00:30]
I wanted to be one[00:00:37]
Like every mother's son[00:00:47]
When I saw my life had begun[00:00:49]
I wanted to be someone[00:00:53]
Like my brother and my one and only father[00:00:58]
And like every mother's son[00:01:09]
I was raised within a cause[00:01:18]
With a purpose to fulfill[00:01:21]
I was taught to defend what was mine[00:01:24]
And instructed not to kill[00:01:27]
My small mortal eyes can see eternity[00:01:31]
In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly[00:01:37]
Like every mother's son[00:01:48]
When a man showed me how to use a gun[00:01:50]
I wished I'd never need one[00:01:54]
Like my brother and my one and only father[00:02:00]
And like every mother's son[00:02:11]
Everything in domesticity[00:02:44]
Assumes it's role better than me[00:02:50]
I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down[00:02:56]
I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town[00:03:02]
Like every mother's son[00:03:09]
I've lost some and some I've won[00:03:12]
Now I'm waiting for a new dawn[00:03:16]
Like my brother and my one and only father[00:03:21]
And like every mother's son[00:03:31]
