Treat me like a mother
You wanna suck on my breast
It's no surprise you do
I'm the source and the force
You owe your life to, brother

Oh oh oh
I'm a mother
And I take like a mother
I understand blood
And I understand pain
There can be no life without it
Never doubt it
I'm a mother

I gave you all my money
To help the family
But what you do to me
Don't humiliate me
Remember
I'm a life long member

Oh oh oh
I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother
In the middle of the night
I be deep in a dream
You fancy little company
You only have to scream
Loud, brother

Oh oh oh
I'm a mother
And I fake like a mother
I understand time
And it isn't on my side
But to service mankind
I have to suffer his pride
Like a mother

Oh oh oh
You say your protection
Is proof of your affection
If I need security
I'll keep the gun on me
(Ohh)
Don't barter with me
Don't barter with me
Little sacrifices go straight to heaven
But hunting season's over
This is the twentieth century
(Ohh)
Don't barter with me

Oh, oh, oh
I'm a mother
And I ache like a mother
If there's a terrible crash
And bodies thrown everywhere
I'll wrap 'em up and carry 'em
If someone has to bury them brother

Oh oh oh
Call upon mother
Oow

I'm the vessel of life
I got the trauma here to prove it
When it's time for me to labor for you
Everybody move it like a mother

Treat me like a mother
You wanna suck on my breast
