Mother (Live In Berlin, 1990)

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

Welcome to the Starlight Ballroom

One, three, four

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?

Mother, do you think they'll like this song?

Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?

Ooh, Mother, should I build the wall?

Mother, should I run for president?

Mother, should I trust the government?

Mama, will they put me in the firing line?

Ooh, is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true

Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you

Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing

She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing

Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm

Ooh, babe

Ooh, babe

Ooh, babe

Of course mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother, do you think she's good enough

For me?

Mama, do you think she's dangerous

To me?

Mama, will she tear your little boy apart?

Ooh, Mother, will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you

Mama won't let anyone dirty get through

Mama's gonna wait up until you get in

Mama will always find out where you've been

Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

Ooh, babe

Ooh, babe

Ooh, babe

You'll always be baby to me

Mother, did it need to be so high?

Bravo

Bless her
