Lyrics for Mother - Live at Le Bataclan

I am a feminist My mother worked 15 hours, 5 days a week My mother worked 16 hours, 6 days a week My mother worked 17 hours, 7 days a week The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich I know nothing I'm just sitting, looking at pretty colours I know nothing I'm just sitting, looking at pretty colours I know nothing I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colours Mother Fucker Mother Fucker My mother worked 15 hours, 5 days a week My mother worked 16 hours, 6 days a week My mother worked 17 hours, 7 days a week The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich I know nothing I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colours I know nothing I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colours I know nothing I'm just sitting here looking at- Mother Fucker Mother Fucker Sexual violence doesn't start and end with rape It starts in our books and behind our school gates Men are scared women will laugh in their face Whereas women are scared it's their lives men will take Mother Fucker Mother Fucker
