Richard Thompson Mother Knows Best Lyrics

So you think you know how to wipe your own nose
So you think you know how to b___on your clothes
You don't know s___ if you hadn't already guessed
You're just a b__p on the log of life
'Cos Mother knows best

She tells everybody she was born in a ditch
She backcombs her hair till she looks like a witch
Wolves in her train, serpents suckle at her breast
Don't forget to wash behind your ears
'Cos Mother knows best

O you lost your job, well ain't that a shame
Got nobody but youself to blame
You deserve everything you get for such carelessness
And don't eat your peas off the knife
'Cos Mother knows best

So your baby's hungry
So your baby's sick
Don't make babies, that'll do the trick
Put another string of barbed wire in your little love nest
It's better than a cardboard box
'Cos Mother knows best

She got a zombie army to serve her well
She got a thousand bloodhounds from the gates of Hell
She got a hundred black horses with sulphur and coal on their breath
And she rides the unbelievers down
Mother knows best

She says, bring me your first-born
I'll suck their blood
Bring me your poor
I can trample in the mud
Bring me your visionaries I can put out their eyes
Bring me your scholars
I'll have them all lobotomised
Mother knows best
