I was born to be mothered
In that sense nothing has changed
I now wail when I'm troubled
I don't grow up, I just parody myself
I used to hear your voice everyday
So now when I hear you it freaks me the fuck out
Otherwise I'd forget it
So when you speak it comes flooding- flooding back to me

I don't want a life ruled by money
But when you're poor it's hard not to think about
I don't want to change myself to impress you
But when you're lonely it's hard not to do
I'm not in it to get big
But saying that I'm pretty scared of just being forgotten
I wouldn't want to sell my soul
But just because it doesn't feel like I've got one

I was born to be mothered
In that sense nothing has changed
I will retreat with my brothers
When maternity enslaves
