Mother's Scorn |
| Well Cinderella was a-runnin' back home she has never met quite a prince |
| Looked in the mirror had a shower scrubbin' hard but could not wash off his |
| fingerprints |
| She couldn’t speak, couldn’t make a sound |
| Quiet like a mouse but her heart was beatin' loud |
| Above the- above the tile there was a medicine cabinet grabbed a razor held it |
| to her wrist |
| Oh grabbed a razor held it to her wrist |
| So don’t you lay those hallelujahs on those babies anymore |
| Because a change is on the wind and someone’s gonna start a war |
| And a reckonin' is comin' to the foot of your front door |
| A settled score, for a mother’s scorn |
| In the kitchen’s where the mother found her lyin' lookin' just like she had |
| seen a ghost |
| She tried to shake her but she knew that what had happened was the one thing |
| she had feared the most |
| She didn’t speak, didn’t wanna tell |
| But hid it in her stomach where it tortured her to hell |
| It was an instant decision influenced by the division of the people and the |
| Holy Host |
| Oh the people and the Holy Host |
| So don’t you lay those hallelujahs on those babies anymore |
| Because a change is on the wind and someone’s gonna start a war |
| And a reckonin' is comin' to the foot of your front door |
| A settled score, for a mother’s scorn |
| So don’t you lay those hallelujahs on those babies anymore |
| Because a change is one the wind and someone’s gonna start a war |
| And a reckoning is coming to the foot of your front door |
| A settled score, for a mother’s scorn |
| For mother’s scorn |
| For mother’s scorn |
| For mother’s scorn |
