《Every Mother’s Son》歌词

[00:00:00] Every Mother's Son - Pretenders

[00:00:13] I was born with my hand in a fist

[00:00:16] And my eyes shut tight

[00:00:19] Any wonder that I cannot resist

[00:00:22] Punching blindly in a fight

[00:00:26] The first time I saw swans flying to the sun

[00:00:33] I wanted to be one

[00:00:41] Like every mother's son

[00:00:44] When I saw my life had begun

[00:00:47] I wanted to be someone

[00:00:53] Like my brother and my one and only father

[00:01:02] And like every mother's son

[00:01:11] I was raised within a cause

[00:01:14] With a purpose to fulfill

[00:01:17] I was taught to defend what was mine

[00:01:20] And instructed not to kill

[00:01:24] My small mortal eyes can see eternity

[00:01:30] In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly

[00:01:40] Like every mother's son

[00:01:42] When a man showed me how to use a gun

[00:01:45] I wished I'd never need one

[00:01:51] Like my brother and my one and only father

[00:02:00] And like every mother's son

[00:02:37] Everything in domesticity

[00:02:43] Assumes it's role better than me

[00:02:48] I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down

[00:02:54] I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town

[00:03:01] Like every mother's son

[00:03:03] I've lost some and some I've won

[00:03:07] Now I'm waiting for a new dawn

[00:03:12] Like my brother and my one and only father

[00:03:21] And like every mother's son
