Lyrics for Mother
My mother worked fifteen hours five days a week My mother worked sixteen hours six days a week My mother worked seventeen hours seven 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 pretty colours Motherfucker Motherfucker My mother worked fifteen hours five days a week My mother worked sixteen hours six days a week My mother worked seventeen hours seven 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 pretty colours Motherfucker Motherfucker 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 Motherfucker Motherfucker
