Life
(Toussaint)
Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son
Father, Father, just look what they done, done to your son
Look 'e here, Mother, Mother
I have felt the mark of ten thousand teeth
I done seen my body lying limply at my feet
As I've seen my soul creeping out my chest
Out of my head towards the east, I've been victimed by the west
Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
Hey, Mother, Mother
I've seen visions of dol[hins dancing in my head
But I'm not gonna worry, might wake up in the morning, dead
But if I die, stoned before I wake
Lord grant me one last wish, please unveil my fate
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
Look 'e here, Mother, Mother
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son
Father, Father, just look what they done, done to your son
Look 'e here, Mother, Mother
I have felt the mark of ten thousand teeth
I done seen my body lying limply at my feet
As I've seen my soul creeping out my chest
Out of my head towards the east, I've been victimed by the west
Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
Hey, Mother, Mother
I've seen visions of dol[hins dancing in my head
But I'm not gonna worry, might wake up in the morning, dead
But if I die, stoned before I wake
Lord grant me one last wish, please unveil my fate
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
Look 'e here, Mother, Mother
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told,
About the work of the Devil and now I know
