Crass - Mother Earth Lyrics
Mother? Mother? Mother?Chorus: She's the anti-mother, mother is that you? She's the anti-mother, mother, mother is that you?It's Myra Hindley on the coverYour very own sweet anti-motherThere she is, on the pages of The StarAin't that just the place you wish you were?Let her rot in hell, is what you saidLet her rot, let her starve, you'd see her deadLet her out but don't forget to tell you where she isThe chance to screw her is a chance you wouldn't missLet her suffer, give her pain is the verdict you gaveYou just can't wait to piss on her graveYou pretend that you're horrifiedMake out that you careBut really you wish that you had been thereYou say you can't bear the thought of what she didBut you'd do it to her, you'd see her deadTell me, what is the difference between her and youYou say that you would kill herWell, what else would you do?Don't you see that the violence has no end? Isn't limited by rules?Don't you see as angels preachingYou're nothing but the foolsFools step in where angels fear to treadYou see, to kill others is the ethic of the deadChorusThe single mug shot from the pastEnsures your fantasy can last and lastIt gives you the chance to air your hateBecause she got there first, you were too lateHindley's crime was to do what others thinkTook her anger and her prejudice and pushed it to the brinkThen you goodly christian people, with your sickly mask of loveWould tear that woman limb from limb, you'd never get enoughSo you keep the story alive, so you can make yourselves believeThat you are so much better than herBut you aren't, that's YOUR GUILT laying there.Chorus
