i see reactors saying how beautiful the song is and all, so i always wonder if they understood it



lyrics:

Spoiler

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you.
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,
Of course mama's gonna help to build the wall.

Mother do you think she's good enough -- for me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous -- to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?

An overprotective mother scared of the awful world her child is entering? Was this released during a War by chance or a time where men were being sent overseas?

ye thats exactly it. according to them its about a single mom that lost her husband to the war and that becomes overprotective of her child, but that ends up making him rely on her for everything

About an overprotective mother. Or about someone who wants to please their mother?

It was during the Cold War, which is just overall complicated in its own.

i love them adding "the wall" on these lyrics and also making a statement on how it blocked the boy on this song from becoming independent and able to succeed on his own, be creative, like u see in the last lyric. the wall was too big for him to climb it and in reality the actual wall was nearly impossible to overcome. so a strong political comment, as well as making it fit with the song
