Everybody knows if you ask them the seven deadly sins

But nobody can tell you the seven virtues



And nobody praises the grade school teachers

But everybody has a favorite serial killer



John Wayne Gacy (whispered)



And everybody watched the celebrity trial in detail

But nobody can tell you who sits on the Supreme Court



And everybody wants better schools for the children

But nobody wants to pay the taxes



Everybody wants to be loved and famous

But they'll dropkick your ass to be loved and famous, and



Nobody wants the fat pregnant woman

But everybody loves the pumped up action hero



Mom, I take you for granted

Like some old forgotten habit, and

I know you gave me life

And helped me pay some bills



Mom, I take you for granted

I was never abandoned

And even though sometimes you really piss me off

I hope you live forever



Forever...



Forever...



Mom...
