Atmospheres are tense today Mother and father are growling again Silently seated around the table You're the one that's getting the blame Father looks at you like a snake You play with the food upon your plate Noone seems to be on your side Things that threaten to hurt your pride Mothers love to be concerned Using lessons that she learned Fathers never undestand When children have the upper hand Smiling you did your time at school Crying quietly like a fool Saturday night and Sunday morning Did all the things they asked you to do They say that home is where the heart is But home is only where the hurt is Pull the wool over the eyes Forget your worries that you started Mothers love to be concerned Using lessons that she learned Fathers never undestand When children have the upper hand When you stay out every night The first time from your bedroom site Started to show some concern But by then it was too late Fear it's time to pull away Shut yours ears to all they say Be yourself you know it's true Because in the end what's left is you Mothers love to be concerned Using lessons that she learned Fathers never undestand When children have the upper hand Mother loves to be concerned Using lessons that she learned Father nevers undestand When children have the upper hand
