[Intro]
Mother
Mother
[Verse 1]
Mother has forgotten me, she calls me "Little Jane"
I go for a cheap massage to cover up the pain
I don't want my dog to die, she means too much to me
Gotta get ready for the rapture, stop my blasphemy
[Chorus]
Is anybody out there? (Out there, out there)
Is anybody out there? (Out there, out there)
Is anybody listening 'cause I'm not hearing anything
I think I might be in this world alone
Is anybody out there? (Out there, out there)
I don't know
[Post-Chorus]
Mother, fucker
Mother, fucker
Mother, fucker
Mother, fucker
[Verse 2]
Santa Ana winds, they came, they scorned us and we burned
Now the insurance brokers got morose and taciturn'd
Genius that I wrote this with said, "So long," took his life
If I stay too long here I don't think that I'll survive
[Chorus]
Is anybody out there? (Out there, out there)
Is anybody out there? (Out there, out there)
Is anybody listening 'cause I'm not hearing anything
I think I might be in this world alone
Is anybody out there? (Out there, out there)
I don't know
[Post-Chorus]
Mother, fucker
Mother, fucker
Mother, fucker
Mother, fucker
[Bridge]
A million Yogi tea bags got recalled for pesticide
If I stay too long here, I don't think that I'll survive
[Chorus]
Is anybody out there? (Mother, fucker, mother, fucker; Out there, out there)
(Is anybody out there?)
Is anybody out there? (Mother, fucker, mother, fucker; Out there, out there)
(Is anybody out there?)
Is anybody listening? (Is anybody out there? Is anybody out there?; Mother, fucker, mother, fucker)
Is anybody out there? (Out there, out there; No, no, no, no, ooh; Mother, fucker, mother, fucker)
I don't know
[Post-Chorus]
Mother, fucker
Mother, fucker
