Hey, Mama
What ya gonna do?
Your son's become a problem
Can't keep holes out his shoes

But that's not news — Mama, what ya gonna do?
Tell me true — Mama, what ya gonna do?

Mama, what ya gonna do?
They want to
Kick him out of Sunday school
And that's the scoop
So Mama, what ya gonna do?
Daddy's got it out for me and you
You can't do nothing

Hey, Papa
What ya got to say?
They call your boy a bastard
Basically every day

And they take a break only to make way for a great parade
They erase the traits of the patient's face when he disobeys
So Papa, what ya got to say
And what would it matter anyway?
