| Lyrics | 3,4 Mother, mother it's just not fair We were so close to death When the snakes were at your breast We almost took the pledge We were seven strokes from the cliffs of heaven's edge Mighty pillars of shaky dirt Conceived and planned in an office We had the power to break the spell We had the knowledge, we just couldn't tell, oh Mother, mother it's just not fair We were so close to death When the snakes were at your breast We almost took the pledge We were seven strokes from the cliffs of heaven's edge You want to know practical answers Learn something old everyday Wish hard and hope that the dead walk the cave Like fossil fuel in the wheelchair relays Mother, mother it's just not fair We were so close to death When the snakes were at your breast We almost took the pledge We were seven strokes from the cliffs of heaven's edgeYou might also like |
