The Bacon Brothers - Mother Fear lyrics

Written by Kevin Bacon "Kind of exploring the role that fear plays in my life. Thanks to Trav for the cool lick." KB She'll wake you in the morning As she fills your head at night She'll drop by, without warning Just when you thought you were doing all right You think she's far away in California But she has never been so near Mother fear She was there the day you turned your cheek She led you from the fight She was in your throat, when you couldn't speak She sings harmony tonight She knew just were you lived She brought the sedatives She brought the whiskey and the beer Mother fear, Mother fear, Mother fear That peaceful feeling's so deceiving You check the kids to see they're breathing And as you watch your house come tumbling down She stands beside you in the rubble She'll be the first to recognize the sound Of the bursting of the bubble And as you prance and pose In your new emperor's clothes She'll get the crowd to laugh and cheer And here she comes Mother fear, Mother fear Year after year after year
