I´m a mother
Treat me like a mother
You wanna 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 labour for you
Everybody move it
Like a mother

Oh
Oh
Oh
