Mama, please come pick me up

My friends are all talking about nothing important

Mama, please come pick me up

The price of booze went up and I just can't afford it

Mama, tell me, are you close?

I've got a dream but not the means to support it

Mama, please come pick me up

These so-and-so's don't share my views on politics.

Mama, please come pick me up

I don't feel safe with these men from the internet

Mama, please come pick me up

Half of my friends are waking up from the comphet

Mama, tell me, are you close?

Don't have enough money for my antidepressants

Mama, please come pick me up

Can't shake the fear of this new government.
