Oedipus Rex Songtext
von Whitney Avalon

From the Bible to the hottest new vlogs
There′s one theme each one catalogs
Of all ideals they hail as good
The most sublime is motherhood

There was a man though who it seems
Once carried this ideal to extremes
He loved his mother and she loved him
And yet his story is rather grim

Some call them pat
Patricide
That's a dad joke

There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex
You may have heard about his odd complex
His name appears in Freud′s index
'Cause he loved his mother
His rivals used to say quite a bit
That as a monarch he was most unfit
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother


Yes he loved his mother like no other
His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother
Tried to avoid the prophecies
But strolled right into their atrocities
Though Ed got famous for his ploy
Just wait, this fate would not bring him joy
For history's biggest mama′s boy
Sure loved his mother

When he found what he had done
He tore his eyes out one by one
A tragic end for a loyal son
Who loved his mother

So be sweet and kind to mother
Now and then have a chat
Buy her candy or some flowers
Or a brand new hat
But maybe you had better let it go at that
Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex
And you may end up like Oedipus
Better to marry a duck-billed platypus
Than end up like old Oedipus T. Rex
