"Mother (The Lockdown Sessions)" lyrics - ROGER WATERS

[Spoken Intro:]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the starlight ballroom
One, Three, Four

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like the song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh, ah
Mother, should I build a wall?

Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh, ah
Is it just a waste of time?

[Chorus:]
Hush now, baby baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm

[Post-Chorus:]
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe, of course Mother's gonna help build the wall

[Guitar solo]

Mother, do you think she's good enough for me?
Mama, do you think she's dangerous to me?
Mama, would she your little boy apart?
Ooh, ah
Mother, will she break my heart?

[Chorus:]
Hush now, baby baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

[Post-Chorus:]
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe, you'll always be "baby" to me

[Outro:]
Mother, did it need to be so high?

[Spoken Outro]
Heheh, bravo
Fifteen years ago, bless her
