《Every Mother’s Son(Demo; 2006 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] Every Mother's Son (Demo) (Re-mastered For 'Pirate Radio') - Pretenders

[00:00:16] I was born with my hand in a fist

[00:00:20] And my eyes shut tight

[00:00:23] Any wonder that I cannot resist

[00:00:26] Punching blindly in a fight

[00:00:30] The first time I saw swans flying to the sun

[00:00:37] I wanted to be one

[00:00:47] Like every mother's son

[00:00:49] When I saw my life had begun

[00:00:53] I wanted to be someone

[00:00:58] Like my brother and my one and only father

[00:01:09] And like every mother's son

[00:01:18] I was raised within a cause

[00:01:21] With a purpose to fulfill

[00:01:24] I was taught to defend what was mine

[00:01:27] And instructed not to kill

[00:01:31] My small mortal eyes can see eternity

[00:01:37] In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly

[00:01:48] Like every mother's son

[00:01:50] When a man showed me how to use a gun

[00:01:54] I wished I'd never need one

[00:02:00] Like my brother and my one and only father

[00:02:11] And like every mother's son

[00:02:44] Everything in domesticity

[00:02:50] Assumes it's role better than me

[00:02:56] I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down

[00:03:02] I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town

[00:03:09] Like every mother's son

[00:03:12] I've lost some and some I've won

[00:03:16] Now I'm waiting for a new dawn

[00:03:21] Like my brother and my one and only father

[00:03:31] And like every mother's son
