Mama, who's taking the high road now?
Mama used to take out all her frustrations at me
Believed in a god, but she herself was almighty
Made sure I read the fine print on her "I love you"s
Mama made up selfish, foolish untruths
Self-absorbed, she ignored what she put me through
Mama begs me every day to come home
But home is where the heart is and I'm long gone
(Gone, gone)
Mama
I can see clearly now, you know this is the end
Get back
Into the darkness that was once my only friend
The young survive if they're satisfied
So how am I alive?
Mama, who's taking the high road now?
Mama and Daddy never slept in the same bed
Never believed in love cuz theirs was dead
Mama shut me out hypocritically
Never changed the locks, just took away my key
Mama fed herself lies and then dragged me along
She knocked me down and went on and on and on
(On, on)
Mama
I can see clearly now, you know this is the end
Get back
Into the darkness that was once my only friend
The young survive if they're satisfied
So how am I alive?
Mama, who's taking the high road now?
Hey Mama there's a lot of things I wanna say to you
Maybe now for once in your life you'll hear some truth
So get your head up now and hear my song
I got a lot of shit f*cked up with me cuz you went
(Wrong)
Mama
I can see clearly now, you know this is the end
Get back
Into the darkness that was once my only friend
The young survive if they're satisfied
So how am I alive?
Mama, who's taking the high road now?
