lyrics

Mothers Eat Their Young

You never listen, never learn. Authority you’ve always spurned
Too many bridges burned, with no concern for friends you live among
You’re the reason mothers eat their young
Birth to grave, birth to grave, you just won’t behave
Birth to grave, birth to grave, birth to...

This grandiose, self-bonhomie, what you’re good at apparently
A shame this silent plea, ‘hey, look at me’ still leaves your songs unsung
Ain’t no use son, mothers eat their young

See, negativity, it just won’t do.
Must be tiring to have those nihilist blues
Embrace or shun the ones you live among
But be forewarned, ‘cause mothers eat their young

Birth to grave, birth to grave, you just won’t behave
Birth to grave, birth to grave, birth to...

You have just too much spunk and grit. Something I’ve needed, I admit
But when you taunt and tease those busy bees
results in you getting stung
Heed my words, ‘cause mothers eat their young

R Bell

We love each other so you don’t have to…. ... more
