Lyrics for The Coat Is Always On
Mother don't sit Mother don't stand Mother don't send me Smoking grass go into the movie The ambulance is after you too Promise we're gonna go to New York City Sorry about the fight in front of you Angry women said 'motherfucker' on TV That baby's gonna be so easy on me Never see his smile Never see his face Smoking grass go into the movie The ambulance is after you too Promise we're gonna go to New York City Sorry about the fight in front of you Angry women said 'motherfucker' on TV Mother don't send me The coat is always on because it's always cold We always lie when she wants to hear it A lot of times we would just starve They recognize the color of the smear Maybe I'll listen when you can read my mind I'm sorry, please don't be mad Brother is old and grey And he's only- He's only 17 Father said he was gonna give me something He gave me hate Mother don't sit Mother don't stand Mother please don't send me What happened to home- What happened to home sweet- What happened to home sweet home?
