Mother

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]

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?

Ooh-ah, Mother, should I build the wall?

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]

Mother, should I run for president?

Mother, should I trust the government?

Mother, will they put me in the firing line?

Ooh-ah, is it just a waste of time?

[Chorus: David Gilmour]

Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mamma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true

Mamma's gonna put all of her fears into you

Mamma's gonna keep you right here, under her wing

She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing

Mamma's gonna keep baby cozy and warm

[Post-Chorus: David Gilmour]

Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe

Of course Mamma's gonna help build the wall

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Roger Waters]

Mother, do you think she's good enough for me?

Mother, do you think she's dangerous to me?

Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?

Ooh-ah, Mother, will she break my heart?

[Chorus: David Gilmour]

Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mamma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you

Mamma won't let anyone dirty get through

Mamma's gonna wait up until you get in

Mamma will always find out where you've been

Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

[Post-Chorus: David Gilmour]

Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe

You'll always be “baby” to me

[Outro: Roger Waters]

Mother, did it need to be so high?
