Mother Mother - Everything Is Happening Lyrics






A baby bird with brand new wings
A little girl on a playground swing
The elderly lose their teeth
And little old me, I lost my key
So I stay inside to watch TV
Where the anchor lies about the middle-east
Where the prophets cry for old Paris
Because the romance died, but it didn't in me

Everything is happening
Everything is happening at the same time
But if you listen close enough you might find
Listen close enough and you'll hear the world cry

A black star falls into the sea
To make room for the next prodigy
Cause there's a genius born in a basement suite
With digital toys and a symphony
Oh what about me, yeah what about me
What about me and my rock and roll dreams
What about them in the factories
Who never sleep, who never dream

Everything is happening
Everything is happening at the same time
But if you listen close enough you might find
Listen close enough and you'll hear the world cry

And the Americas are hooked on drugs
And the government is run by thugs
If there's a God above it's not enough
But I don't care cause I'm in love

Everything is happening
Everything is happening at the same time
But if you listen close enough you might find
Listen close enough and you'll hear the world cry

And everyone is speaking up
Everyone's just spilling guts at the same time
But if we listen up enough and shut our mouths
Listen up enough we might hear the world sigh

Mother Mother Everything Is Happening Comments
  1. S.... L....

    I remember listening to this song like it came out yesterday, it's nearly been 3 years.

  2. P.... J....

    One of my favourite Mother mother songs!! Next to "Waiting for the world to end", "Ball cap" and "Oh Ana".

  3. A.... M....

    I love the Mothers

  4. -.... a....

  5. r.... c....

    Parts of this sound like Imagine dragons but with Mother mother's style laced in.

  6. M.... H....

    I take it back they're all my favorite

  7. �.... N....

    I feel like I understand the song's meaning pretty well.

  8. R.... ....

    This song sounds like the moment right before you fall asleep outside on a warm, sunny summer day. Or when you were eleven years old and you stayed up until 3am and it felt like the night would last forever but you didn't mind.

    R.... ....

    Yep. I felt this one.

  9. s.... ....

  13. K.... ....

    The video is so awesome! Like, almost as awesome as the song!

  14. D.... S....

    The black star falling into the sea has to be referring to David Bowie!!!

  15. M.... I....

    this group is fucking amazing
    this group is the only one pushing me to survive the shitstorm of adolescence and math
    i love it

    M.... I....

    Opals on Mars i love how you group adolescence and math together

  16. P.... ....

  18. C.... S....

    C.... S....

    Calvido Skougard was it the beef tattoo

    C.... S....

    Beef foot beef foot beef foot beef foot

  19. N.... ....

    A baby bird with brand new wings
    A little girl on a playground swing
    The elderly lose their teeth
    And little old me, I lost my key
    So I stay inside to watch TV
    Where the anchor lies about the middle-east
    Where the prophets cry for old Paris
    Because the romance died, but it didn’t in me

    Everything is happening
    Everything is happening at the same time
    But if you listen close enough you might find
    Listen close enough and you’ll hear the world cry

    A black star falls into the sea
    To make room for the next prodigy
    Cause there’s a genius born in a basement suite
    With digital toys and a symphony
    Oh what about me, yeah what about me
    What about me and my rock and roll dreams
    What about them in the factories
    Who never sleep, who never dream

    Everything is happening
    Everything is happening at the same time
    But if you listen close enough you might find
    Listen close enough and you’ll hear the world cry

    And the Americas are hooked on drugs
    And the government is run by thugs
    If there’s a God above it's not enough
    But I don’t care cause I’m in love

    Everything is happening
    Everything is happening at the same time
    But if you listen close enough you might find
    Listen close enough and you’ll hear the world cry

    And everyone is speaking up
    Everyone’s just spilling guts at the same time
    But if we listen up enough and shut our mouths
    Listen up enough we might hear the world sigh
