Crass - Mother Love Lyrics
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties.
They're just another showpiece to show the neighbours who
Can produce the perfect babe with everything in place,
But god help you if you come out without an angel face.
If you haven't got the looks that prove how nice you are,
You'll have failed your duty and that's all you fucking are,
You're just a status symbol that they need to have in life,
Just the proof they need to be the perfect man and wife.
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties.
Like a fucking dustbin they fill you up with trash,
And tell you all that life is, is working for some cash,
Life's a competition and you've got to be the best,
So tread on everybody else, forget about the rest.
They tell you to be grateful for what they've done to you,
Like tell you the conditions and pump it into you,
That you really mustn't fail them cos you owe them a debt,
Cos they're the ones that made you and they won't let you forget.
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties.
You're not a human in their eyes, you're a novelty.
They don't want you thinking, you'll break the fantasy,
The fantasy that you're the toy providing endless fun,
You're not a human being, you're their daughter or their son.
You bring them lots of happiness when you're very small,
But when you lose those darling looks no-one cares to call,
Cos you're no more the cuddly toy for them to hug and hold,
You're not an individual and they're just getting old.
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody lies,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody lies.

Crass Mother Love Comments
On point!
I have kids now, the only thing kids need to learn is love and respect, I hate parents who make their kids into "trophies"!!! I have the school all over my ass because my oldest questions everything and I told them that I'll never do anything to hinder that!!!
GREAT FUCKIN SONG!!!
@DizTortIonNoGoDs -lmao.I have.I have been fortunate to get mint originals on vinyl-apparently there is a book forthcoming about the band/group and all of the material is being reissued.It will be interesting to see how the royalties are divvyied up since it seems that some of the former members are not on good terms anymore-and are playing into the hands of what they stood for in the past and some still do- since the commune still exists I believe.
Not heard this album for sooo long-have tried to obtain it but nigh on impossible except for second hand somehow
