Lyrics

O Superman

O judge

O Mom and Dad

Mom and Dad

O Superman

O judge

O Mom and Dad

Mom and Dad

Hi, I'm not home right now

But if you wanna leave a message

Just start talking at the sound of the tone

Hello, this is your mother

Are you there?

Are you coming home?

Hello, is anybody home?

Well, you don't know me, but I know you

And I've got a message to give to you

Here come the planes

So you better get ready, ready to go

You can come as you are, but pay as you go

Pay as you go

And I said, "Okay, who is this really?"

And the voice said

"This is the hand, the hand that takes

This is the hand, the hand that takes

This is the hand, the hand that takes"

Here come the planes

They're American planes

Made in America

Smoking or non-smoking?

And the voice said, "Neither snow nor rain

Nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers

From the swift completion of their appointed rounds"

'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice

And when justice is gone, there's always force

And when force is gone, there's always Mom (hi Mom!)

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms

In your automatic arms

Your electronic arms

In your arms

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms

Your petrochemical arms

Your military arms

In your electronic arms
