Jill Sobule - 'Mom' Lyrics
Everybody knows if you ask them the seven deadly sinsBut nobody can tell you the seven virtuesAnd nobody praises the grade school teachersBut everybody has a favorite serial killerJohn Wayne Gacy (whispered)And everybody watched the celebrity trial in detailBut nobody can tell you who sits on the Supreme CourtAnd everybody wants better schools for the childrenBut nobody wants to pay the taxesEverybody wants to be loved and famousBut they'll dropkick your ass to be loved and famous, andNobody wants the fat pregnant womanBut everybody loves the pumped up action heroMom, I take you for grantedLike some old forgotten habit, andI know you gave me lifeAnd helped me pay some billsMom, I take you for grantedI was never abandonedAnd even though sometimes you really piss me offI hope you live foreverForever...Forever...Mom...
