Tough love
Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
- Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed
- I must find the way to power through a noble brow
- I married once for love then my sences came
- I must marry for the stature of my husband's name
- Onto marriage number two
- I knew what I had to do
- And my poor husband fell I'll in a year or two
- Solved problem number one now to problem number two
- His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view
- Would I ship her off to school
- No I told her if she stayed that
- She'd have to earn her keep
- And so she became the maid
- She was lazy
- She was crazy
- She was talking to the mice
- She was hopelessly naive so she had to pay the price
- I moved her to the attic out
- Of sight and out of mind
- I could have thrown her out but I'm benevolent and kind
- Mother your heart's too big for you
- I knew what I had to do
- After all difficult children will take advantage of your good nature
- So you lock them up throw away the key
- There's one on every family tree
- Ungrateful
- Hateful
- Vile too the things she put you through
- Break their spirit so they obey
- Now they'll do anything you say
- Maybe you'd call it cruel but
- Others would call it love
- Tough love
- I ask you is it a crime to strive
- For perfection in all things
- Oh no they're so cute when they're little but
- Then they grow up and just ruin everything
- I never wanted children life was better on my own
- All the screaming nagging chilled me to the bone
- But then one day I came across a flower growing free
- It's magic kept me young so I kept it all for me
- But someone dug it up now a baby held the power
- So I borrowed her and locked her
- Up and hid her in a tower
- Years went by oh the sacrifice
- And against my better judgment
- I fed her once or twice
- Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young
- But that's messy
- Manipulation's easily more fun
- A little guilt a lot of force
- Of course you have to lie
- Remind them that without you they'd shrivel up and die
- They only have themselves to blame
- If you'd been there you'd do the same
- So work them hard 'til they fall in line
- There's one way and it's only mine
- The children are lazy
- Spoiled too
- But we know what to do
- Govern them with a heart of stone
- Lock them up so they're all alone
- Maybe you'd call it cruel but
- Others would call it love
- Tough love
- Ugh her own tower with a water view and
- She runs away the first change she gets
- These wretched brats think the
- World owes them something but it doesn't
- Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand
- But there was more I had in mind a greater plan
- I never cared to share so the king would have to fall
- But his child blocked the way to me and
- Fairest of them all
- She was chubby she was dumb
- And grotesquely optimistic
- She need structure in her life
- She wasn't realistic
- I give her chores and took away
- The things that she'd enjoy
- But then I caught her singing songs
- With birds and then a boy
- Love was I just sit by and wait
- For her to take my crown no
- She had sealed her fate
- She had to go and so she did
- And you know what they say
- An apple once a day keeps your enemies away
- Don't be fooled by their tender smile
- Give an inch and they'll run a mile
- Our idea for a happy home
- Is one where we live all alone
- Dark
- Depressing
- Desolate
- Now let's all drink to that
- Call us wicked call us mean
- Cruel and everything in between
