lyrics

I saw momma sitting cliffside in the Pacific Pallisades
She fed the baby the baby bottle but that baby had teeth for days

Baby said to mamma I won’t forget where I come from
mamma said yeah you can remember it but you best forget it while you’re young
forget it while you’re young

Your brother’s grandfather got captured and locked in a cage
one and all they’ll be watching you all the world’s a stage
If you’re ever going to get what you want
You can’t be scared to be alone
Go on find your way back home

You’ll struggle and you’ll suffer then one day you’ll realize
the only one you could lose if you won can’t stand the upper hand
You can’t make her understand

oh I know she’s so smart and so tender of heart
that the walls of the apartment all shook
when I told you the truth it was only her youth
and the site of those precious good looks

that’s got you both scared but don’t be I swear
who cares what they write on tombstones
Go on find your way back home
