MOFO
Lyrics: Bono and The Edge. Music: U2.
Lookin' for to save my save my soul
Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow
Lookin' for to fill that God-shaped hole
Mother mother suckin' rock and roll
(Backing Vocal: "Been around back, been around front...")
Holy dunc, space junk comin' in for the splash
White dopes on punk starin' into the flash
Lookin' for the baby Jesus under the trash
Mother mother suckin' rock and roll
Mother (scat singing... wouldn't you love a translation?) rock and roll
Mother... mother... MOTHER...
Mother... mother... MOTHER...
Mother... am I still your son? You know I've waited for so long
To hear you say so
Mother... you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child
But no-one tells me no...
Lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world
Lookin' for the father of my two little girls
Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade
Still lookin' for the face I had before the world was made
Mother mother sucking rock and roll
Bubble poppin' sugar droppin' rock and roll
Mother... mother... MOTHER...
Mother... mother... MOTHER...
Woo me sister
Move me brother
Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother...
