Who will keep your mother's keeper While you batten and flatten down the wind? And who will sell her to the reaper? Your games are all too late to amend You thought The world was Endless And open But she's getting older And you're still a boulder Trying to control her With your chin on your shoulder And who will be your mother's keeper? Nasty little habits do you in You will feed her to the reaper And soon you'll be following her in All that cash you Blindly burned through Will it buy you a new day? Faces you don't have to lie to? The papers will feature The man called your mother's keeper The papers will feature The man called your mother's keeper They won't beat you deeper You'll be your mother's keeper They won't beat you deeper You'll be your mother's keeper And who are you? Who are you? © 2014 Johnsongs, Ltd./The Clydes

You always know what to know Why would you take advice, though? You only go where you want Your hat, it makes a nice home You don't want what I know You'll be conquering all You don't want what I know You'll be conquering all Travel far, and you'll find Endless pools of blank minds Fill 'em up on a dime And make 'em cry in good time You don't want what I know You'll be conquering all You don't want what I know 'Cause you'll be conquering all CHORUS: You're only critical Only critical On your own You're on your own I'll never bother to call Why do I stand to learn at all? Pride'll end in a fall Strewn with roses at your alter You don't need what we know You'll be fine all alone You don't need what we know You'll be fine all alone CHORUS And you can't go home And you can't go home No, you can't go home © 2014 Johnsongs, Ltd./The Clydes
