《Mother Knows Best》歌词

[00:00:00] Mother Knows Best - Richard Thompson

[00:00:06] So you think you know how to wipe your own nose

[00:00:10] You think you know how to button your clothes

[00:00:13] You don't know shit if you hadn't already guessed

[00:00:20] You're just a bump on the log of life 'cause mother knows best

[00:00:27] She tells everybody she was born in a ditch

[00:00:30] She back-combs her hair 'till she looks like a witch

[00:00:34] Wolves in her train serpents suckle at her breast

[00:00:41] Don't forget to wash behind your ears 'cause mother knows best

[00:01:07] O you lost your job well ain't that a shame

[00:01:11] You got nobody but yourself to blame

[00:01:14] You deserve everything you get for such a carelessness

[00:01:21] And don't eat your peas off the knife 'cause mother knows best

[00:01:27] So your baby's hungry so your baby's sick

[00:01:31] Don't make babies that'll do the trick

[00:01:34] Put another string of barbed wire in your little love nest

[00:01:41] It's better than a cardboard box 'cause mother knows best

[00:02:08] She got a zombie army to serve her well

[00:02:11] She got a thousand bloodhounds from the gates of hell

[00:02:15] She got a hundred black horses with sulphur and coal on their breath

[00:02:22] And she rides the unbelievers down mother knows best

[00:02:28] She says "Bring me your first-born and I'll suck their blood

[00:02:32] Bring me your poor I can trample in the mud

[00:02:35] Bring me your visionaries I can put out their eyes

[00:02:42] And bring me your scholars I'll have them all lobotomised

[00:02:48] 'Cause mother knows best
