Lazy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh, aah, 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?
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 won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm
Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall
Mother, do you think she's good enough? (for me?)
Mother, do you think she's dangerous? (tell me?)
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooh, aah, 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 till you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe
You'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high?
The song "Mother" by Pink Floyd is a powerful reflection on the relationship between a controlling mother and her oppressed son. The lyrics touch on themes of war, politics, and personal freedom, but at its core, the song is a commentary on the destructive nature of a parent's desire to protect and control their child.
In the opening lines, the son questions his mother's faith in the government and her disregard for his personal autonomy. He asks if she thinks they will drop the bomb, indicating his fear for the future and his sense of powerlessness in the face of global conflict. Similarly, he asks if they will like his song, revealing his need for validation and acceptance.
The son's frustration reaches its peak when he asks if he should build a wall and run for president. These lyrics are a reference to the construction of the Berlin Wall and the political attitude of the United States during the Cold War. The son's desire for control and isolation reflects a sense of powerlessness in the face of political turmoil.
Throughout the song, the mother's response to her son's fears and desires is to control and shelter him. She promises to protect him from the world, even if it means keeping him under her wing and limiting his freedom. The song's haunting refrain, "Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm," reflects the mother's suffocating desire to protect her son at all costs.
Despite the mother's intentions, the song ultimately suggests that her attempts to shield her son from the harsh realities of the world may be doing more harm than good. The son's repeated questioning of his mother's actions suggests a growing sense of rebellion and a desire for independence. The song ends with the son asking if the wall needed to be so high, indicating a newfound desire to break free from the confines of his mother's control.

@seekingtruth1110
Why do people like her call for help then argue over everything 🙄
@mireillestpierre7045
Whoever reading this personally, I think Supernanny is right for yelling at her because the only way she’s gonna learn is that Supernanny teaches her but the mother doesn’t want to learn she’s lazy that’s why..
@musicgirl97
