Hey Ma
(based on the timbre of Bob Dylan’s “It’s alright, Ma, 1965)
01/25/07 - NMB


Hey Ma
What you heard
Where you gonna find
All the pretty words
To tell me

Hey Dad
What you had
To do to become
The things you said you’d
Never be

I’m not a child
Of the left or right
I’m not a foe
Or friend to fight
I’m just me

I’m not the one
That did you right or wrong
I’m not here
To sing your song
Of misery

Hey Joe
Where did you go
And now that youre’ back
Can you make any sense
Out of what you know

Hey Girl
What’s your scene
Do you know what it means
To live all you dreams
And destroy the world

I’m not the one who says
Stop or go
I’m not the one to tell you
Yes or no
I’m just free

I’m not the one to pay
For all your sins
If your god is dead
Then when you join him
You will see

All the little boys
And all their little toys
Lined up in rows
But nobody knows
Which ones are WMD’s

So, hey Ma
Have you heard
There are no words
For you or anyone to
Comfort me

Hey Dad
You know that I’ve had it
With all the lies and bullshit
That have been
Fed to me

I’m not a child
Of the left or right
I’m not a foe
Or friend to fight
I’m just me

I’m not the one
That did you right or wrong
I’m not here
To sing your song
Of misery

I’m not the one who says
Stop or go
I’m not the one to tell you
Yes or no
I’m just free

I’m not the one to pay
For all your sins
If your god is dead
Then when you join him
You will see

All the little boys
And all their little toys
Does anyone wanna try
And stop all the NOISE
