Every Mother's Son - J Mascis

Well I’ve been riding a winning horse

For a long, long time

Sometimes I wonder

Is this the end of the line

No man should take advantage

Of who they are

No man has got it made

If he thinks he does, he’s wrong

Every mother’s so

Better hear what I’m saying

Every mother’s son

Will rise and fall one day

Seen it happen so many times, so many times before

Some man got so much money he doesn’t worry no more

Or he’s got such a pretty woman that’ll treat him fine

My friends have all been fools

It happens every time

I’m not tryin' to preach to no one, to no one at all

Seen a lot of my good friends just rise to fall

'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine

Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time

What I say

What I say

Oh, every mother’s son will rise and fall one day

And so it goes
