Atmospheres are tense today   Mother and father are growling again   Silently seated around the table   You're the one that's getting the blame      Father looks at you like a snake   You play with the food upon your plate   Noone seems to be on your side   Things that threaten to hurt your pride      Mothers love to be concerned   Using lessons that she learned   Fathers never undestand   When children have the upper hand      Smiling you did your time at school   Crying quietly like a fool   Saturday night and Sunday morning   Did all the things they asked you to do      They say that home is where the heart is   But home is only where the hurt is   Pull the wool over the eyes   Forget your worries that you started      Mothers love to be concerned   Using lessons that she learned   Fathers never undestand   When children have the upper hand      When you stay out every night   The first time from your bedroom site   Started to show some concern   But by then it was too late      Fear it's time to pull away   Shut yours ears to all they say   Be yourself you know it's true   Because in the end what's left is you      Mothers love to be concerned   Using lessons that she learned   Fathers never undestand   When children have the upper hand      Mother loves to be concerned   Using lessons that she learned   Father nevers undestand   When children have the upper hand
