Atmospheres are tense today
Mother and father are growling again
Silently seated around the table
You're the one that's getting the blame
Father looks at you like a snake
You play with the food upon your plate
No one seems to be on your side
Things that threaten to hurt your pride
Mothers love to be concerned
Using lessons that she learned
Fathers never understand
When children have the upper hand
Smiling you did your time at school
Crying quietly like a fool
Saturday night and Sunday morning
Did all the things they asked you to do
They say that home is where the heart is
But home is only where the hurt is
Pull the wool over the eyes
Forget your worries that you started
Mothers love to be concerned
Using lessons that she learned
Fathers never understand
When children have the upper hand
Mothers love to be concerned
Using lessons that she learned
Fathers never understand
When children have the upper hand
