[Verse 1]
So you think you know how to wipe your own nose
You think you know how to button your clothes
You don't know shit if you hadn't already guessed
You're just a bump on the log of life
'Cause Mother knows best

[Verse 2]
She tells everybody she was born in a ditch
She backcombs her hair till she looks like a witch
Wolves in her train, serpents suckle at her breast
And don't forget to wash behind your ears
'Cause Mother knows best

[Verse 3]
Well, you lost your job, well, ain't that a shame
You got nobody but yourself to blame
You deserve everything you get for such carelessness
And don't eat your peas off the knife
'Cause Mother knows best

[Verse 4]
So your babies are hungry, so your baby's sick
Don't make babies, that'll do the trick
Put another string of barbed wire in your little love nest
It's better than a cardboard box
'Cause Mother knows best
[Verse 5]
She got a zombie army to serve her well
She got a thousand bloodhounds from the gates of hell
She got a hundred black horses with sulfur and coal on their breath
And she rides the unbelievers down
Mother knows best

[Verse 6]
She says, bring me your first-born and I'll suck their blood
Bring me your poor I can trample in the mud
Bring me your visionaries, I can put out their eyes
And bring me your scholars
I'll have 'em all lobotomised
'Cause Mother knows best
