Somebody's Mother Lyrics - Subhumans

She sits here drinking 

What does the fiction represent? 

The TV Scandal 

Can make her break out in a sweat 

She watches it to make her feel part 

Of something she never was 

She sings a song 

That her father whistled while he worked 

It helps her relax 

A mild depressant keeps her down 

And she weeps smiling 

The radio bleeds that happy sound 

The music nullifies her fears 

With words to that effect 

She s happy now, she thinks 

That really nothing could go wrong 

All this waiting all for nothing 

Routine living - Rooms to live in 

Routine living - Merely wasting away 

This life she's living 

Is an extension of our guilt 

The four-walled conscience 

Imposed by those who never felt 

The pain the tedious drudgery 

Boredom (Relax!) - It s lonely 

And it s not right 

That this way of life should go on
