[English]

Mother

Mother

Mother has forgotten me, she calls me "Little Jane"

I go for a cheap massage to cover up the pain

I don't want my dog to die, she means too much to me

Gotta get ready for the rapture, stop my blasphemy

Is anybody out there?

(Out there, out there)

Is anybody out there?

(Out there, out there)

Is anybody listening 'cause I'm not hearing anything

I think I might be in this world alone

Is anybody out there?

(Out there, out there)

I don't know

Mother, fucker

Mother, fucker

Mother, fucker

Mother, fucker

Santa Ana winds, they came, they scorned us and we burned

Now the insurance brokers got morose and taciturn'd

Genius that I wrote this with said, "So long," took his life

If I I stay too long here I don't think that I'll survive

Is anybody out there?

(Out there, out there)

Is anybody out there?

(Out there, out there)

Is anybody listening 'cause I'm not hearing anything

I think I might be in this world alone

Is anybody out there?

(Out there, out there)

I don't know

Mother, fucker

Mother, fucker

Mother, fucker

Mother, fucker

A million Yogi tea bags got recalled for pesticide

If I stay too long here, I don't think that I'll survive

Is anybody out there?

(Mother, fucker, mother, fucker- Out there, out there)

(Is anybody out there?)

Is anybody out there?

(Mother, fucker, mother, fucker- Out there, out there)

(Is anybody out there?)

Is anybody listening?

(Is anybody out there? Is anybody out there? Mother, fucker, mother, fucker)

Is anybody out there?

(Out there, out there- No, no, no, no, ooh- Mother, fucker, mother, fucker)

I don't know

Mother, fucker

Mother, fucker
