Mama

Mom I’m begging you, don’t be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight’s seen
I opened the door and it stole my soul
What controls my core, now it’s rock and roll

Was a shock at age fifteen
Was a sight I’d never seen
Was a pit and bloody lip
Time and time again was hit
It has Hatfield and Mustaine
It was Deftones and Mudvayne
I went down a deadly track
And there is no turning back

I beg you, forgive me mom
There is no turning back
Now my life, once and for all
Now it’s rock and roll

It was Vedder and Cobain
It was Staley in his chains
It was from the first refrain
That I heard on Crazy Train
It’s The Beatles and Woodstock
Sex Pistols and punk rock
It was everything I saw
It became my fatal flaw
Forgive me, mom

Mom I’m begging you, don’t be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight’s seen
I opened the door and it stole my soul
What controls my core, now it’s rock and roll

I beg you, forgive me mom
Now it’s rock and roll
Now my life, once and for all
Now it’s rock and roll

Now it’s rock and roll
I beg you forgive me, mom
There is no turning back
Now my life, once and for all
Now it’s rock and roll

And I beg you, forgive me mom
Just know

Mom I’m begging you, don’t be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight’s seen
I opened the door and it stole my soul
What controls my core, now it’s rock and roll

I beg you, forgive me mom
There is no turning back
Now my life, once and for all
Now it’s rock and roll
