Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean, what they say
Mother
Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life
Can you hide them from the waiting world
Oh, mother
Father
[I'm] gonna take your daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Father
[I'm] not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
'Till you're bleedin'
I'm not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's
Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh, mother
Oh
Do you wanna bang heads with me
Do you wanna feel everything
Oh, father
[I'm] not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I'm gonna show you what it's like
'Till you're bleedin'
I'm not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I'm gonna show you what it's
Like
I'm not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I' gon' show you what it's like
'Till you're bleedin'
I'm not about to see your lie
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you the way
Mother was written by Glenn Danzig.
We were approached to cover “Mother” by Danzig which led to a fun week in the studio that inspired us to lay down some other covers we had either been playing live already or had been wanting to do.
