Mother Fear lyrics
Written by Kevin Bacon

"Kind of exploring the role that fear plays in my life. Thanks to Trav for the cool lick." KB

She ll wake you in the morning
As she fills your head at night
She ll drop by, without warning
Just when you thought you were doing all right

You think she s far away in California
But she has never been so near

Mother fear

She was there the day you turned your cheek
She led you from the fight
She was in your throat, when you couldn t speak
She sings harmony tonight
She knew just were you lived
She brought the sedatives
She brought the whiskey and the beer

Mother fear, Mother fear, Mother fear

That peaceful feeling s so deceiving
You check the kids to see they re breathing

And as you watch your house come tumbling down
She stands beside you in the rubble
She ll be the first to recognize the sound
Of the bursting of the bubble

And as you prance and pose
In your new emperor s clothes
She ll get the crowd to laugh and cheer
And here she comes

Mother fear, Mother fear
Year after year after year
