Life Songtext
von Dr. John

Mother, just look what they done, done to your boy
Mother, Mother, just look what they done done to your boy
Mother, Mother

I have felt the mark, of ten thousand teeth
I done seen my body lying limply at my feet
As I've seen my soul, creeping out of my chest
Out my head towards the East, got victimed by the West

Father, Father, just look what they done, done to your son
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
Father, Father, just look what they done done to your son


I've seen visions of dolphins dancing in my head
But I'm not gonna worry, might wake up in the morning dead
But if I die, stoned before I wake
Lord grant me one last wish, please unveil my fate

(I didn't know what I been told about
The work of the Devil and now I know)

Father, Father, just look what they done done to your son
(I didn't know what I been told about
The work of the Devil and now I know)
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
(I didn't know what I been told about
The work of the Devil and now I know)
Father, Father, look what they done, done to your son
