lyrics
Mother
Mother, you've been good to me
Mother, kept me from what I shouldn't see
Taught me life was sweet and grand
Told me goodness came from man
Mother, you lied to me!
All those years in your arms
Tucked away from worldly harms
Behind you apron strings I saw
Life was happy free to all
Mother, take a look around
Mother, take a look at what I found
Greedy people everywhere
No compassion, they just don't care
Mother, you lied to me Oh! you, you lied to me
All those years in your arms
Tucked away from worldly harms
Behind you apron strings I saw
Life was happy free to all
Mother , why was I conceived
Given life then made to breath
Born through Love, then tossed away
Left to face the world each day
Mother, you've been good to me
Mother, kept me from what I shouldn't see
Taught me life was sweet and grand
Told me goodness came from man
Mother, you lied to me!
All those years in your arms
Tucked away from worldly harms
Behind you apron strings I saw
Life was happy free to all
Mother, take a look around
Mother, take a look at what I found
Greedy people everywhere
No compassion, they just don't care
Mother, you lied to me Oh! you, you lied to me
All those years in your arms
Tucked away from worldly harms
Behind you apron strings I saw
Life was happy free to all
Mother , why was I conceived
Given life then made to breath
Born through Love, then tossed away
Left to face the world each day

about
BANG Dallas, Texas
Surely one of the most unsung bands in the history of American hard rock music, BANG released three full-length albums for Capitol Records in the early 70’s, that criminally sank without a trace. Capitol artist development at the time just did not know what to do with the band that was often called America’s answer to Black Sabbath. ... more

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music!
