Somebody's Mother

歌詞

She sits here drinking What does the fiction represent? The TV Scandal Can make her break out in a sweat She watches it to make her feel part Of something she never was She sings a song That her father whistled while he worked It helps her relax A mild depressant keeps her down And she weeps smiling The radio bleeds that happy sound The music nullifies her fears With words to that effect She s happy now, she thinks That really nothing could go wrong All this waiting all for nothing Routine living - Rooms to live in Routine living - Merely wasting away This life she's living Is an extension of our guilt The four-walled conscience Imposed by those who never felt The pain the tedious drudgery Boredom (Relax!) - It s lonely And it s not right That this way of life should go on
