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
