lyrics

i am a mama's boy

sister sally would like a little less reality
she looked at me and she painted my pain
mama never said it would be easy
to take apart daddy's machine
but the piper at the rest stop
doesn't have to be so far from reach

mama didn't raise no DJ
to waste away in some magazine
mama didn't raise no pumpkin pie
so I could cover my life in whipped cream
someone take me back to minnesota
where nothing ever touches me

brother billy would like a little less sobriety
he threw his cell phone at the life-gaurd's tower
mama never said it would be easy
to deconstruct daddy's room
but the life-guard's whistle
doesn't have to blow so cruel

mama didn't raise no hemingway
to waste away in some coral reef
mama didn't raise no rice-cake
so i crumble at the lifeguard's feet
sorry that i stole your favorite color
and i never even read your zine
