Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they’ll like this song
Mother do you think they’ll try to break my balls
Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Is it just a waste of time (nel film The Wall «Mother am I really dying?»)
Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry
Mother’s gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mother’s gonna put all her fears into you
Mother’s gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing
Mama’s gonna keep baby cozy and warm
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,
Of course mama’s gonna help build the wall
Mother do you think she’s good enough, to me
Mother do you think she’s dangerous, to me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart
Hush now baby, baby don’t you cry
Mama’s gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through
Mama’s gonna wait up until you get in
Mama will always find out where you’ve been
Mama’s gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You’ll always be baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high?
