lyrics

Anti-this, anti-that, anti-the other
Anti-this, anti-that she’s the anti-mother

Don’t make a sound, don’t say a word
Children should be seen and not heard

She’s anti-man she’s anti-wife
She’s anti-death she’s anti-life
She’s anti-black she’s anti-white
She’s anti-day she’s anti-night
She’s anti-time she’s anti-space
She’s anti-the entire human race
She’s anti-life, she’s anti-life

Mummy has abandoned me
Sentenced me to infancy
Now all of the world can see
Mummy has abandoned me

She was dead when she was born

No one’s ever known her
No one’s ever boned her
Everyone’s disowned her
No one’s ever known her

She’s anti-right she’s anti-wrong
She’s anti-weak she’s anti-strong
She’s anti-play she’s anti-work
She’s anti-septic she’s anti-dirt
She’s anti-her she’s anti-him
She’s anti-bones she’s anti-skin
She’s anti-boy she’s anti-girl
She’s anti-the past and the modern world
She’s anti-life she’s anti-life

Mummy, Mummy, where is my Mummy?
Mummy, Mummy, Mummy’s abandoned me

Why Aren't You Laughing?
by GGGOLDDD

supported by 4 fans who also own “Cot Death Grandmother”

Après avoir rajouté deux G et deux D à son nom, Gggolddd en a profité pour ralentir encore un peu le tempo. Bon, ce n'était déjà pas très speed, mais comme vous l'aurez compris : là n'est pas le but. Pour les avoir vus en live il y a peu, il faut se plonger dans une ambiance émotionnelle bien particulière, à la croisée de l'indé et du gothique. Bref, fans de Kreator ou de Veil of maya, passez votre chemin... Poesy Rider
