Crass - Mother Love Lyrics
Chorus: Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand At the end of my arm was my own *****ing hand In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies I didn't *****ing need them with their love and family tiesLittle children shouldn't speak until they're spoken toJust another showpiece to show the neighbours whoCan produce the perfect babe with everything in placeGod help you if you come out without an angel faceIf you haven't got the looks that prove how nice you areYou'll have failed your duty and that's all you *****ing areYou're just a status symbol that they need to have in lifeJust the proof they need to be the perfect man and wifeChorusLike a *****ing dustbin they fill you up with trashTell you all that life is, is working for some cashLife's a competition and you've got to be the bestTread on everybody else, forget about the restThey tell you to be grateful for what they've done to youLike tell you the conditions and pump it into youThat you really mustn't fail them cos you owe them a debtCos they're the ones that made you and they won't let you forgetChorusYou're not a human in their eyes, you're a noveltyDon't want you thinking, you'll break the fantasyFantasy that you're a toy providing endless funYou're not a human being, you're their daughter or their sonYou bring them lots of happiness when you're very smallBut when you lose those darling looks no-one cares to callCos you're no more the cuddly toy for them to hug and holdYou're not an individual and they're just getting oldChorusDidn't *****ing need them with their love and family ties (repeat)Didn't *****ing need them with their love and bloody lies
