"Mother" by Danzig

"Mother" by Danzig | Produced by Rick Rubin

Tell your children not to walk my way

Tell your children not to hear my words

What they mean

What they say

Mother

Mother

Can you keep them in the dark for life

Can you hide them from the waiting world

Oh mother

Father

Gonna take your daughter out tonight

Gonna show her my world

Oh father

[Chorus]

Not about to see your light

But if you want to find hell with me

I can show you what it's like

Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light

And if you want to find hell with me

I can show you what it's

Mother

Tell your children not to hold my hand

Tell your children not to understand

Oh mother

Father

Do you want to bang heads with me

Do you want to feel everything

Oh father

[Chorus]

Yea

[Chorus]

Whoa

Mother

Yea

Glenn Danzig recalled writing the song:

 “I remember calling Rick Rubin in the middle of the night and telling him that I wrote an incredible song — probably the best song I’d ever written. It was the song I always wanted to write. The first time we played it, people went crazy. But I never wrote that song to make it a hit — I never wrote that way, and I still don’t. I write songs so that they say something and do something, and if people like them, great — and if they don’t, they don’t.”
