Oh Yes, Another Mother - Thee More Shallows

Mother, you were first upon the beach

You stormed the wake boards and the free bar at Normandy

Where they shot at Grandpa’s head while he screamed

«If I ever get through this, I will be a good book salesman»

And when he survived he kept his promise gratefully

And he lived and died serving money and making his family

And he wanted you to do the same, but times change

You serve yourself, you serve yourself

But Mother, Mother I am becoming another family

I kept none of your strange advice — and let the bad drift right up out of sight

Out of my atmosphere before it choked me and killed me

Like your servant did to you on your vacation when your too-late reformation

Left you bronzed for dead by the pool in the April heat

In a spring setting records every second until you grilled like meat

And I helped myself

(Outro)

But everything that came after that was

But everything that came after that was

But everything that came after that was

But everything that came after that was

But everything that came after that was

But everything that came after that was

But everything that came after that was

(unintelligible)

Another mother

Another mother

Another mother

Another mother

Another mother

Another mother

Another mother
