Mother Says

Mother says, 'Be carefulAnd dont stay out too longDont do things you shouldntMiss me when Im gone”Daddy says, '
Not now, son
Well, just do the best you can
And youll make out somehow , son
Be just like
I am, just like
I am”You wont need a reason
She dont let you choose
And so to make the game easy
Mother makes the rules
We all know how the rules are
Changing from day to day
Thats the breaks and
Im sorrySome of us must be going
Some of us have to stay
Some of us may be showing
Some just fade away
Its sad to say its the ending
All the feelings gone
If you dont mind pretending
You can come along
And Mother says shes ready
And if you have the time
Shell help us all to get steady
Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine
Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine
