Tell Your Mother Lyrics

My shaking hand grips the phone

I try to keep my voice low

I am so disappointed

But barely surprised

It's not like they didn't warn us

They made it their chorus

The fascists implored us

To limit our rights

Caught in the middle of a savage backwards slide

Lost just a little bit of that paternal pride

Well what do you know

It's just as they said it'd be

Something you helped make

Now lay in your bed, don't sleep

So tell your mother that she's subhuman in your mind

It seems autonomy is sacrificed so the Second can survive

Oh no no no no no

I couldn't get you to change

Fun conversations but the end finally came

Oh

The consequence of your vote

She's just eleven years old

We should probably avoid

Instead of doubling down

We can agree that I'm seething

But this bears repeating

I'll never believe you

If our votes cancel out

Hopefully now you'll finally open up your eyes

This is your chance to show you understand what's right

Well what do you know

It's just as they said it'd be

Something you helped make

Now lay in your bed, don't sleep

So tell your mother that she's subhuman in your mind

It seems autonomy is sacrificed so the Second can survive
