[00:00.00]Every Mother's Son - Pretenders (冒牌货)
[00:13.43]I was born with my hand in a fist
[00:16.31]And my eyes shut tight
[00:19.35]Any wonder that I cannot resist
[00:22.16]Punching blindly in a fight
[00:26.64]The first time I saw swans flying to the sun
[00:33.27]I wanted to be one
[00:40.77]Like every mother's son
[00:44.05]When I saw my life had begun
[00:48.06]I wanted to be someone
[00:53.38]Like my brother and my one and only father
[01:02.44]And like every mother's son
[01:11.28]I was raised within a cause
[01:13.94]With a purpose to fulfill
[01:17.25]I was taught to defend what was mine
[01:20.41]And instructed not to kill
[01:24.12]My small mortal eyes can see eternity
[01:30.29]In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly
[01:38.44]Like every mother's son
[01:42.20]When a man showed me how to use a gun
[01:45.77]I wished I'd never need one
[01:51.44]Like my brother and my one and only father
[02:00.61]And like every mother's son
[02:37.48]Everything in domesticity
[02:43.27]Assumes it's role better than me
[02:48.90]I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down
[02:54.71]I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town
[03:01.25]Like every mother's son
[03:03.88]I've lost some and some I've won
[03:07.33]Now I'm waiting for a new dawn
[03:12.73]Like my brother and my one and only father
[03:21.89]And like every mother's son
