Mother O Mother

When my mother tells me her problems.

I start to get solemn.

Or literally annoyed.

I'm  only a child.

I should make life worth a while.

Yet I'm still listening to treason.

Mother O mother.

When will you stop.

I won't stay young
forever and neither will you.

So why talk about the past when
all it will do is bite you in the ass.

I know you're mad at father
for leaving you a loner.

But that's not my fault.

The star are getting brighter.

But mother O mother.

Our time will pass.

kids will get older and it's almost time to rest.

With the past in the past.

Let's try to relax.

Mother O mother.

This song won't last.

With air in our lungs.

Let's try to have fun.

Mother O mother.

It's all in the past.

The trumpets are calling
while your tears are falling.

Let's try to relax.

Stay in the present
because that's where it at.

Mother O mother.

Let's try to relax.
