Lyrics
Mother says clean your plate before TV
Mother loves you, but you drive her crazy
Last night she sang a song, it was all about comfort
The door was locked when you came home for dinner
You begged and cried but no one got up to answer
You saw his car parked out in the driveway
CHORUS:
You can do whatever you think
Do whatever you do
No one cares, ‘cause they won’t wear your shoes and
You play with words till you’ve got an answer
Is someone sleeping at the switch
Mother says you got to put them before you
But they’ll run the bus until it’s right on top of you and
In his name we pray amen and amen
(CHORUS)
[How do you always seem to know the way I feel]
Mother says you clean your plate before TV and
God loves you but you drive him crazy
Last night you thought you heard a voice…
