        v.1     Mother said don't fight

                In the streets

                Because the priest will

                See you

                Or the nun will see you

                And you will be condemned

                To penances.

        v. 2    Mother said don't fight

                In the streets

                For the neighbors will

                Talk -

                Fuel for the flame.

                A small mind has a big tongue,

                My boy.

        v. 3    Mother said don't fight

                In the streets

                Because God will see you

                And you'll go to Hell

                And have an eternity

                To think of moral philosophies

                Penance, Penance

        v. 4    Oh mother, you offered

                Such profound advice.

                My gratitude, now

                As always, etc.

        v. 5.   Mother said

                don't stick it to any girl-

                Cheap tramp

                Because she will lead

                You to Hell.

        v. 6    And from there there's

                No way out,

                Didn't the priest tell you that?

        v. 7    Mother said a lot of things for

                Someone else to believe

                But when the Demon knocked

                On her door

                She let him in

                Thinking she could get away

                Holy water unscathed.

                Hear the voice, poor choice...

                No return once you pass

                Through that door.

        v. 8    Don't look back, Mom

                Because now you can't.

        v. 9    But the next time I rumble

                I'll give it all I got

                I'll win it tough but clean

                For the memory of dear Mom,

                Wherever she's gone.

                And who'll keep the score?

                GRENDEL, of course.
