Mother

Tell your children not to walk my way

 Tell your children not to hear my words

 What they mean

 What they say

Mother

(verse)

Mother

Can you keep them in the dark for life

Can you hide them from the waiting world

Oh mother

(verse)

Father

Gonna take your daughter out tonight

Gonna show her my world

Oh father

(chorus)

Not about to see your light

 But if you wanna find hell with me

 I can show you what it's like

Till you're bleeding

  Not about to see your light

 But if you wanna find hell with me

  (play for full measure)

I can show you what it's

(verse)

Mother

Tell your children not to hold my hand

Tell your children not to understand

Oh mother

(verse)

Father

Do you wanna bang heads with me

Do you wanna fear everything

Oh father

(chorus)

Not about to see your light

if you wanna find hell with me

I can show you what it's like

Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light

And if you wanna find hell with me

I can show you what it's

Not about to see your light

But if you wanna find hell with me

I can show you what it's like

Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light

And if you wanna find hell with me

I can show you what it's like

Mother....
