Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She knows that I've been doin' something wrong
But she won't say anything
She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday
But she mon't mind me lyin'
Because
[Chorus]
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
[Verse 2]
It breaks the cage, and fear escapes and takes possession
Just like a crowd riotin' inside me
Make me do this, make me do that
Make me do this, make me do that
Am I the cat that takes the bird
To her, the hunted, not the hunter?
[Chorus]
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will hide the murderer
Mother hides the madman
Mother will stay mum
[Outro]
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will stay mum
Stands for comfort
