lyrics

Mother says that we should stick together.
When we're together everyone lives better lives. Intro
Everyone survives. D, Em, Bm, G
Verse
Mother says that we should do much better D, Em, A
We should endeavor to never tell a lie. Chorus
It's tough enough, alright. Bm, G, D
Bm, G, D, A, G
(chorus) Bridge
But we know, we will never get it right. Em, A, D, Bm
It's too much, it's too hard, & we're too tired turn G, A, D
So we don't even try.

And we know, that we're lettin' others down
But we don't even see them in the crowd
As they fall, down and out.

Mother says that we should love each other.
Brother, sister, and every single soul
Everyone we know.

Mother says that we should help each other
To discover new ways of letting go
Of the pain we hold.

(chorus)

(bridge)
Instead we live to hurt
And punish all our enemies
Pushing pain like pills
And pills are made to deaden me
Everyone is scratching, scrambling
And striving to get by.

Fingers point at faces
Faces we erase from these
Moments as we race for shallow,
Hollow victories
Everyone is scratching, scrambling
And striving to get by.

It shouldn't be this hard to get by.

Mother says that we should love each other.
Brother, sister, and every single soul
Everyone we know.

(chorus)

Mother says that we should help each other
To discover new ways of letting go
Of the pain we hold.

Get Set Go recommends:

Lucky Fucker
by S.A. Bach

Sebastian, hands down, is one of the most singular and passionate and skilled songwriters I have ever known. Like, if you know me at all, you know that those are the three metrics that matter. Get Set Go

Ash
by Eric Lea

Eric's music is everything you could ever want from someone that knows all the tiny bits about how music is made and still says, fuck it, I'm making MY music. I have learned so much from him. Get Set Go
go to album
Let the Machines
by John Brownell and his Spare Parts

John's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome! Get Set Go

Made of Metal

supported by 9 fans who also own “Mother Says”

I love how quickly it gets chaotic and they're singing different stuff on top of each other. Great to hear another voice singing with Mike TV. Not even jealous because it's so good and so different than anything else I've heard from him before but equally infectious. Production is top notch too. Love the dueling solos. There's a lot of gotdamn music in here. Sebastian A. Bach
