Mother
Mother
The word you learn to love
The disapproval that you hate that's
Mother from Mother
They teach you to respect...
Makes you always want to please
Mother
Mother
The one who keeps you warm
The one who keeps you warm
And shelters you from harm
And shelters you from harm
Watch out she'll stunt your mind
She'll open up your mind
'Til you emulate her kind
To make you good and make you kind
Is that Mother?
Mother
Downstairs I don't know
Downstairs I don't know
If it's the springs in her bed
Why I feel safe in my bed
Or her joints I hear
When I know I'm alone
Creaking overhead
She must be watching overhead
Mother
Mother
She'll twist the words you speak
She'll kiss and say goodbye
If she thinks you're near escape
If you want to go away
Mother
Mother
So she clutches at her brood
So she gathers up her brood
And sits across its face
And smiles into their face
She sucks up all its energy
She beams down vital energy
And smothers their last breath
She gave us out first breath
Oh Mother
Mother
The thing you grow to hate
The love you won't forget
Madre
Madre
La palabra que aprendes a amar
La desaprobación que odias
Madre de Madre
Te enseñan a respetar...
Siempre te hace querer complacer
Madre
Madre
La que te mantiene cálido
La que te protege del daño
Y te resguarda del peligro
Y te resguarda del peligro
Cuidado, ella limitará tu mente
Ella abrirá tu mente
Hasta que emules su tipo
Para hacerte bueno y amable
¿Eso es Madre?
Madre
Abajo no sé
Abajo no sé
Si son los resortes de su cama
Por qué me siento seguro en mi cama
O sus articulaciones que escucho
Cuando sé que estoy solo
Crujiendo arriba
Ella debe estar vigilando arriba
Madre
Madre
Ella retorcerá las palabras que dices
Ella besará y dirá adiós
Si cree que estás cerca de escapar
Si quieres irte
Madre
Madre
Así que se aferra a su prole
Así que reúne a su prole
Y se sienta frente a su rostro
Y sonríe en sus rostros
Absorbe toda su energía
Irradia vital energía
Y sofoca su último aliento
Ella nos dio nuestro primer aliento
Oh Madre
Madre
La cosa que creces odiando
El amor que no olvidarás
