Every Mothers' Son Lyrics

I WAS BORN WITH MY HAND IN A FIST
AND MY EYES SHUT TIGHT
ANY WONDER THAT I CANNOT RESIST
PUNCHIN' BLINDLY IN A FIGHT
THE FIRST TIME I SAW SWANS FLYIN' TO THE SUN
I WANTED TO BE ONE

LIKE EVERY MOTHER'S SON
WHEN I SAW MY LIFE HAD BEGUN
I WANTED TO BE SOMEONE
LIKE MY BROTHER AND MY ONE AND ONLY FATHER
AND LIKE EVERY MOTHER'S SON

I WAS RAISED WITHIN A CAUSE
WITH A PURPOSE TO FULFILL
I WAS TAUGHT TO DEFEND WHAT WAS MINE
AND INSTRUCTED NOT TO KILL
MY SMALL MORTAL EYES CAN SEE ETERNITY
IN THE CLOUDS THAT DISSOLVE AND THEN REGROUP ENDLESSLY The Pretenders - Every Mothers' Son - http://motolyrics.com/the-pretenders/every-mothers-son-lyrics.html

LIKE EVERY MOTHER'S SON
WHEN A MAN SHOWED ME HOW TO USE A GUN
I WISHED I'D NEVER NEED ONE
LIKE MY BROTHER AND MY ONE AND ONLY FATHER

AND LIKE EVERY MOTHER'S SON

EVERYTHING IN DOMESTICITY
ASSUMES ITS ROLE BETTER THAN ME
I'M A DISPLACED PERSON WHOSE CULTURE LET ME DOWN
I RAISE MY OWN DAUGHTERS IN A PORNOGRAPHIC TOWN

LIKE EVERY MOTHER'S SON
I'VE LOST SOME AND SOME I'VE WON
NOW I'M WAITING FOR A NEW DAWN
LIKE MY BROTHER AND MY ONE AND ONLY FATHER
AND LIKE EVERY MOTHER'S SON
