Looking for to save my save my soul
Looking in the places where no flowers grow
Looking for to fill that God shaped hole
Mother... mother sucking rock and roll, mother...

Holy dunc, spacejunk coming in for the splash
(Been around the back... been around the front)
Wh-wh-white dopes on punk s-staring into the flash
(Been around the back... been around the front)
Looking for the baby Jesus under the trash
(Been around the back... been around the front)

Mother... mother sucking rock and roll, mother...
Bubble popping, sugar dropping, rock and roll, mother...

Mother... mother... mother...
Mother... mother... mother...

Mother... am I still your son
You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother... you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child, no one tells me no

Looking for a sound that's going to drown out the world
(Been around the back... been around the front)
Looking for the father of my two little girls
(Been around the back... been around the front)
Got the swing, got the sway, got my straw in lemonade
(Been around the back... been around the front)
Still looking for the face I had before the world was made
(Been around the back... been around the front)

Mother... mother sucking rock and roll, mother...
Hopping popping shopping dropping, it's rock and roll, mother...
Mother... mother suck, yeah, fuck yeah, mother...

Mother... mother... mother...
Mother... mother... mother...

Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Fool me brother
Woo me sister
Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
