I'm a Mother

I'm a mother Treat me like a mother You want to suck on my breast It's no surprise you do I'm the source and the force You owe your life to, brother Oh Oh Oh I'm a mother And I take like a mother I understand blood And I understand pain There can be no life without it Never doubt it I'm a mother I gave you all my money To help the family But what you do to me Don't humiliate me Remember I'm a life-long member Oh Oh Oh I'm a mother Treat me like a mother In the middle of the night I be deep in a dream You fancy little company You only have to scream Loud, brother Oh Oh Oh I'm a mother And I fake like a mother I understand time And it isn't on my side But to service mankind I have to suffer his pride Like a mother Oh Oh Oh You say your protection Is proof of your affection If I need security I'll keep a gun on me Oh Don't barter with me Don't barter with me Little sacrifices Go straight to heaven But hunting season's over This is the 20th century Oh Don't barter with me Oh Oh Oh I'm a mother And I ache like a mother If there's a terrible crash And bodies thrown everywhere I'll wrap 'em up and carry 'em If someone has to bury them Brother Oh Oh Oh Call upon mother I'm the vessel of life I got the trauma here to prove it When it's time for me to labor for you Everybody move it Like a mother Oh Oh Oh --- I'm a Mother - Pretenders
