I'm asking all you mothers,
|
do your children take jive?
|
and God was just piled upon them
|
do you think they'll survive?
|
you send them to the movies
|
what you think that they'll see?
|
you know that that won't be love
|
that not breathing cheaply
|
A vagrant or a murderer
|
a rapist or a cheat
|
I missed your millions
|
and violence in our streets
|
|

|
Yes, I'm Asking!
|
|
But Las Vegas bodies
|
are still not for your lives
|
I'm asking all you mothers,
|
do you tell your children lies?
|
how do you think they'll grow up
|
if they're weened upon a gun
|
or stories of how the stork
|
and bout you, your new start
|
a tear in the darkness
|
as a wellness fills there eyes
|
when truth is discovered
|
if they leave you - don't
|
don't you be surprised
|

I'm asking all you young girls
|
have you learned about lost pleasure
|
or did your parents bind tomorrow
|
restrain you from the treasure
|
Tell me, look behind you
|
was your mama really there?
|
your child looks alot like you
|
for her sake I hope you'll be fair
|
you want your kids to grow up
|
with the things you never had
|
then give them all there freedom
|
respect there values of good and bad
