lyrics

Mama why didn’t you tell us
The truth of love and war?
We run around in circles
Always wanting more
Patterned by the world around
We meld into our forms
Mama, please relieve us
Of these bullshit norms
Mama why didn’t you tell us
That life would go so fast?
I’ve been living in my mind
Wading through the past
Wake up in the morning light
Wonder what day will bring
Mama we’re just lost in time
Come sit with me and sing
It’s alright, by the fireside
Stay with me, warm and dry
It’s alright, by the fireside
Stay a while, let’s get high
Mama why didn’t you tell us
The shadows fade to dust?
I’m afraid of what will be
When we’re left to rust
Down in holes, forgotten souls
Let it blow away
Mama, will we be forgotten
At the end of the day?
