Lyrics Mother (Live) - Pearl Jam

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?
Oh, oh-ah, mother, should I build a wall?

Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should we trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in firing line?
Oh, oh-ah, is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing

She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, oh, baby
Of course mother's gonna help build the wall

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?
Oh, oh-ah, will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's going to check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in

Mama will always find out just where you've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, oh, baby
You'll always be baby to me

Mother, did it need to be so high?
