Mama

Mama I’m alone now I a big town,
Mama I’m alone now and it’s getting cold,
Mama all the people here are different,
Mama I’m alone now and it’s very frightening, it’s very
frightening, it’s very frightening…
And didn’t you tell me I was beautiful?
Didn’t you tell me I could have the world?
Didn’t you tell me I was everything I needed?
But I need you, I need you, I need you to tell me again…

Mama now I got what I want but I don’t know who I am,
Mama I feel lost when I walk down the street,
Mama all the people here don’t look you in the eye,
And I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know what are they
hiding…

And didn’t you tell me I was beautiful?
Didn’t you tell me I could have the world?
Didn’t you tell me I was everything I needed?
But I need you, I need you, I need you to tell me again…

Mama I don’t wanna lose my spirit,
Mama I’m afraid of what I might become,
Mama there are so many people and they walk around like hollow
shells,
And I know that when they started out they must have had some
feelings, too…

And didn’t you tell me I was beautiful?
Didn’t you tell me I could have the world?
Didn’t you tell me I was everything I needed?
But I need you, I need you, I need you to tell me again…

Well I’m thinking back
On the damage you’ve done
And I knew I couldn’t reason with you
So I had to run
And I ran so far
Fought hard
To start my life again
And I guess my mind must be a special kind of garden
Cos you planted your shit seeds
But they didn’t stay rotten
No they blossomed into flowers
In my brain
Now I’m paying you for

A job well done
When you count the money you’ll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
A job well done
No of course nobody’s to blame
