Lyrics for Mom & Dad

Mama! Mama! Someone said they made some noise The cops have shot some girls & boys You'll sit home & drink all night They looked too weird . . . it served them right Mama! Mama! Someone said they made some noise The cops have shot some girls & boys You'll sit home & drink all night They looked too weird . . . it served them right Ever take a minute just to show a real emotion In between the moisture cream & velvet facial lotion? Ever tell your kids you're glad that they can think? Ever say you loved 'em? Ever let 'em watch you drink? Ever wonder why your daughter looked so sad? It's such a drag to have to love a plastic Mom & Dad Mama! Mama! Your child was killed in the park today Shot by the cops as she quietly lay By the side of the creeps she knew . . . They killed her too.
