Mama is a Liar

Falling on the bay in the morning light

Left over cans and bags and debris from the night

Cars and trucks and busses are rushing into town

Birds are having breakfast chewing up a clown

Shower all the time but can't wash off your history

Junior high school principal called Mr. D

Where we go after we die is still a mystery

Who are you? Who am I? And who is she to me?

Your mama is lying to you boy tell me why they're shooting us down?

Your mama is lying to you boy

Your mama is lying to you boy tell me why they're shooting us down?

Your mama is lying to you boy

Ooooh yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah eyeah yeah

Ooooh yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah eyeah yeah

Baby cows we eat never meet their moms and dads

Butcher eats the bacon he knows from the adds

Kids inherit a world know body understands

A look warm salty gulf stream that is shifting hands

Fire in the desert and war in the mountains and the land

Letter to the president says I'm your biggest fan

Sun studio give you pretty shiny orange tan

Eat up society and it's philosophy fry it in a pan

Your mama is lying to you boy tell me why they're shooting us down?

Your mama is lying to you boy

Your mama is lying to you boy tell me why they're shooting us down?

Your mama is lying to you boy

Ooooh yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah eyeah yeah

Ooooh yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah eyeah yeah

Ooooh yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah eyeah yeah

Ooooh yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah eyeah yeah yeah yeah

 

Why they coming and they running us down

Why they coming and they shooting us down

Why they coming and they gunning us down

Why they coming and they cutting us down

Why they coming and they running us down

Why they coming and they shooting us down

Why they coming and they running and they shooting and they gunning and they cutting and they stunning us down?!

Your mama is lying to you boy tell me why they're shooting us down?

Your mama is lying to you boy

Your mama is lying to you boy tell me why they're shooting us down?

Your mama is lying to you boy

Ooooh yeah yeah ooooh yeah yeah eyeah yeah
