Hosanna Tab

I was born to be mothered
In that sense, nothing has changed
I now wail when I'm troubled
I don't grow up, I just parody myself
I used to hear your voice every day
So now when I hear you, it freaks me the fuck out
Otherwise, I'd forget it
So when you speak, it comes flooding, flooding back to me

I don't want a life ruled by money
But when you're poor, it's hard not to think about
I don't want to change myself to impress you
But when you're lonely, it's hard not to do
I'm not in it to get big
But saying that, I'm pretty scared of just being forgotten
I wouldn't want to sell my soul
But just because it doesn't feel like I've got one

I was born to be mothered
In that sense, nothing has changed
I will retreat with my brothers
When maternity has slaves
