Wanna buy a new car
But the price ain't right
Be a damn sight cheaper (yes it would)
Start riding a bike, listen
They're making milk out of powder, yeah they are
Got the baby's crying
Poor baby, they don't know what that stuff is
Rents gone up higher, yes it is
Got the parents lying (I'll pay you tomorrow)

Lord, it's a real mother for ya (yeah)
Make you wanna run for cover, yes it will
And if you look you will discover (yeah)
Lord, its a real mother for ya, yeah

Good God, listen
Got to go to a disco
Throw your troubles away
Dance to the music
That the DJ's play
And then the light's come on, yeah
Like you knew they would, ha ha, let go
Go home and face the music
That don't sound too good
Ha ha, let that go, listen

Lord, its a real mother for ya
It'll make you wanna run for cover
And if you look you will discover (yeah)
Lord, its a real mother for ya, yeah

[instrumental]

Lord, its a real mother for ya (yeah)
Make you wanna run for cover (yes it will)
And if you look you will discover (yeah)
Lord, its a real mother for ya, yeah
Said it's a real mother for ya, yeah
(Ah, get out of here) My goodness, too cold
Cold blooded, cold blooded
I'm telling you the truth
Let me stop here at this gas station
Gimme 3 gallons of low lead
Can't afford nothing else
Better stop and get me
Two hot dogs and a strawberry soda

It's a real mother for ya
It's a real mother for ya, yeah
ooh, it's a real mother for ya
It's a real mother for ya, yeah
