  i'm a mother
  treat me like a mother
  you wanna suck on my breast
  it's no surprise you do
  i'm the source and the force
  you owe your life to, brother
  
  oh
  oh
  oh
  
  i'm a mother
  and i take like a mother
  i understand blood
  and i understand pain
  there can be no life without it
  never doubt it
  i'm a mother
  
  i gave you all my money
  to help the family
  but what you do to me
  don't humiliate me
  remember
  i'm a life-long member
  
  oh
  oh
  oh
  
  i'm a mother
  treat me like a mother
  in the middle of the night
  i be deep in a dream
  you fancy little company
  you only have to scream
  loud, brother
  
  oh
  oh
  oh
  
  i'm a mother
  and i fake like a mother
  i understand time
  and it isn't on my side
  but to service mankind
  i have to suffer his pride
  like a mother
  
  oh
  oh
  oh
  
  you say your protection
  is proof of your affection
  if i need security
  i'll keep a gun on me
  oh
  don't barter with me
  don't barter with me
  
  little sacrifices
  go straight to heaven
  but hunting season's over
  this is the 20th century
  oh
  don't barter with me
  
  oh
  oh
  oh
  
  i'm a mother
  and i ache like a mother
  if there's a terrible crash
  and bodies thrown everywhere
  i'll wrap 'em up and carry 'em
  if someone has to bury them
  brother
  
  oh
  oh
  oh
  
  call upon mother
  
  i'm the vessel of life
  i got the trauma here to prove it
  when it's time for me to labour for you
  everybody move it
  like a mother
  
  oh
  oh
  oh
