lyrics

The mike is your friend
Or your enemy
The things that you say
Could ricochet

If bouncing off the walls
Is your destiny
Make sure they pay
To watch you give it away

And just remember
Some drugs are better than others
But there’s no drug that’s better than a hug from your mother

Lay your tragi-comic hilarious fables on the masses
Amuse ‘em and move ‘em
And slap ‘em on their asses

And just remember…

Things go better with Coke for you
But Mr Snowman might say something blue
Things flow better with dope for you
Shoot, smoke, snort n’ swallow to get you through
And just remember…

Sad downer clown
Your life is so unforgiving
Chanting misery
And chewing scenery for a living

And just remember…

You sit down to do your stand up routine
With faked canned laughter
What a disaster

So turn off that unfunny joke machine
Unhappy ever after
Just another cracked up actor

But just remember…

Idiot son
Your time to shine has faded
But at least your old mamma
Lived to see that you made it

So just remember…

Mother
Mother
Mother

Mouthmother
Mouthmother
