Bad Daughter & Mommy Dearest
Mommy Dearest has a heart full of gold.
Mommy Dearest's words are never cold.
Never mean, always kind.
A loving parent all of the time.
Mommy Dearest loves her daughter.
Mommy Dearest has always played the parts
of mother and father.
She rules over her child life.
And is one of the leading reasons,
her daughter carried a knife.
Mommy Dearest is speaking again.
Better stop speaking, better listen.
Stop talking.
Stop singing.
Stop acting silly.
Stop being a kid.
Don't talk about the cat.
You're acting immature.
Act your age.
And you want me to trust you with money?
Cruel words cut a broken daughter's heart.
"I'm sorry Mom, I'll try to be better"
Her daughter cries.
Her daughter pleads.
Her daugther is begging.
"Someone, anyone-- Please, please save me!"
Mommy Dearest is back again.
Mommy Dearest is not playing friend.
She gives the cold shoulder, the room fills with ice.
She is not giving her daughter a chance,
and not thinking about it once-- Let alone twice.
Mommy Dearest loves her daughter, can't that be seen.
Mommy Dearest yells at her daugther, but she isn't being mean.
"It's okay, she's just being a jerk-- Everything will be alright."
Says the price to the heroine over the phone,
the evil queen is watching but she never felt so alone.
"Stop talking about me, it's no one's business"
Her mother snarls like a beast.
Her daugther sinks back, sensing her own defeat.
"Why don't you just leave?"
She yells at her mother.
But Mommy Dearest smiles, because she has the power.
"Why don't you?" she says to her daughter.
"Fine I will, but I won't come back!" she yells.
"Good-bye"
"You jerk!"
"Good-bye"
"Bitch!"
"Good-bye."
"Shut up!"
"Good-bye."
Vision goes red and she drops the phone,
and gets up annoyed by everything about Mommy Dearest now.
Mommy Dearest's heart isn't made of gold.
Her daughter sees through her, her heart is quite cold.
Smack.
Hit.
Punch.
Scratch.
Grab hair, chunk full.
And hear it rip.
Bad daughter, hitting her mother once again.
Bad daughter, this fight she will win.
Bad daughter, makes her cry in fear.
Bad daughter, loves how good hurting her feels.
Picks up the phone again.
"What happen?!"
"Nothing. I'm fine."
"What did you do?"
"Nothing. . . I hit her."
Mommy Dearest
Mommy Dearest
Just got put back in her place.
Mommy Dearest,
Mommy Dearest,
her daughter's hatred will not erase.
Do not egg her on.
She is not going to have mercy.
She is trying to stop herself from harming herself.
Now you're pushing her to the limit again.
She's withdrawling herself from self-harm.
But one of the reasons she started.
Was because she didn't want to be a monster.
The daughter that hits her own mother.
Bad daughter and Mommy Dearest glare at each other,
returning to their seperate sides of the ring.
Bad daughter and Mommy Dearest love each other
no matter what, even after everything.
Mommy Dearest's words are never cold.
Never mean, always kind.
