Lyric Mother Love

Chorus: Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
At the end of my arm was my own fucking hand
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies
I didn t fucking need them with their love and family ties

Little children shouldn t speak until they re spoken to
Just another showpiece to show the neighbours who
Can produce the perfect babe with everything in place
God help you if you come out without an angel face
If you haven t got the looks that prove how nice you are
You ll have failed your duty and that s all you fucking are
You re just a status symbol that they need to have in life
Just the proof they need to be the perfect man and wife

Chorus

Like a fucking dustbin they fill you up with trash
Tell you all that life is, is working for some cash
Life s a competition and you ve got to be the best
Tread on everybody else, forget about the rest
They tell you to be grateful for what they ve done to you
Like tell you the conditions and pump it into you
That you really mustn t fail them cos you owe them a debt
Cos they re the ones that made you and they won t let you forget

Chorus

You re not a human in their eyes, you re a novelty
Don t want you thinking, you ll break the fantasy
Fantasy that you re a toy providing endless fun
You re not a human being, you re their daughter or their son
You bring them lots of happiness when you re very small
But when you lose those darling looks no-one cares to call
Cos you re no more the cuddly toy for them to hug and hold
You re not an individual and they re just getting old

Chorus

Didn t fucking need them with their love and family ties (repeat)
Didn t fucking need them with their love and bloody lies
