SOMEBODY'S MOTHER 


She sits here drinking what does the fiction represent? 
The tv scandal can make her break out in a sweat 
She watches it to make her feel part of something she never was 
She sings a song that her father whistled while he worked 
It helps her relax a mild depressant keeps her down 
And she weeps smiling the radio bleeds that happy sound 
The music nullifies her fears with words to that effect 
She's happy now, she thinks that really nothing could go wrong 
All this waiting all for nothing routine living 
- rooms to live in routine living - merely wasting away this life 
She's living is an extension of our guilt the four-walled conscience 
Imposed by those who never felt the pain the tedious drudgery boredom 
(relax!) 
- it's lonely and it's not right that this way of life should go on
