Blood Sweat & Tears - Life lyrics

(Toussaint)

Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son

Father, Father, just look what they done, done to your son

Look 'e here, Mother, Mother

I have felt the mark of ten thousand teeth

I done seen my body lying limply at my feet

As I've seen my soul creeping out my chest

Out of my head towards the east, I've been victimed by the west

Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son

But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun

Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son

Hey, Mother, Mother

I've seen visions of dol[hins dancing in my head

But I'm not gonna worry, might wake up in the morning, dead

But if I die, stoned before I wake

Lord grant me one last wish, please unveil my fate

Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son

But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun

Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son

Look 'e here, Mother, Mother

Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son

I didn't know what I was told,

About the work of the Devil and now I know

Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son

I didn't know what I was told,

About the work of the Devil and now I know

Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son

I didn't know what I was told,

About the work of the Devil and now I know

Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son

I didn't know what I was told,

About the work of the Devil and now I know
