Mother Mother - Kept Down lyrics
[Mother Mother - Kept Down lyrics]
If I could talk to all
The children in the clouds
The ones who couldn't help but
Take it lying down
I'd say, despite your fate
You made your papa proud
There's just some things a guy like
That can't say out loud
Oh, your mama, well she just didn't know how
A thousand years of being told
To shut her mouth and kept down, down
Down, down kept down, down
Down, down
If I could steal away the
Outcast of the class
I'd break him out of there and
Take him to the tracks
We'd bet all of it on the
Horse with a broke back
We'd watch it win while all
The stallions came in last
Oh, boy, you see your odds ain't all that bad
Slim to none
But not so slim you've got to slip
Between the cracks so come back, come back
Pretty girl wicked world
Cut your curls cut out your tongue
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
One by one we let 'em burn off with the sun
Can only hope they're somewhere
Finally having some fun being young
The children in the clouds
The ones who couldn't help but
Take it lying down
I'd say, despite your fate
You made your papa proud
There's just some things a guy like
That can't say out loud
Oh, your mama, well she just didn't know how
A thousand years of being told
To shut her mouth and kept down, down
Down, down kept down, down
Down, down
If I could steal away the
Outcast of the class
I'd break him out of there and
Take him to the tracks
We'd bet all of it on the
Horse with a broke back
We'd watch it win while all
The stallions came in last
Oh, boy, you see your odds ain't all that bad
Slim to none
But not so slim you've got to slip
Between the cracks so come back, come back
Pretty girl wicked world
Cut your curls cut out your tongue
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
One by one we let 'em burn off with the sun
Can only hope they're somewhere
Finally having some fun being young
