Mother Mother - Slip Away [Lyrics]

Enjoy~
--------------------------
What to do
When you've got too much bravado
And you're feelin' like and idol
For a million little assholes
Where to go
When you've gone the extra mile
In running off your pie-hole
In the company of good folk
Slip away, yeah
Slip away, yeah
ooh
How to feel
When you orchestrate a big deal
Something of an ordeal
But you just don't have it in ya
What to think
When you thought you were a machine
But then suddenly you're feeling
Just like all the other earthlings
Slip away, yeah
Slip away, yeah
ooh
How to behave in this place
Tell me
How to exist amidst the ladies
And the babies
And the crazy
For requesting that I be made an exception
To you
Well instead of asking you I will
Slip away, yeah
Slip away, yeah
ooh oh oh oh
What to do
When you've got too much bravado
And you're feelin' like an idol
For a million little assholes

“Am I crazy for requesting that I be made an exception to the rule”*

Come to think of it, I think that does sound like what the lyrics actually are. Nice catch! I typically just follow what online sources list the lyrics as -- with my own corrections here and there -- but I didn't give that line a second thought.

Been looking for these lyrics for awhile now. Thank you

[@DragonQueen999]

Great work on the lyrics, they’re very accurate

[@r.e.walkerlyrics66]

Thank you.

Is there a meaning behind this song?

[@bip-bap4774]

I'm not sure if this is right but I relate to it a lot. Not sure of it's a good thing or not.
But the way I see it is it's about someone who feels higher than others, stronger, smarter, better. But sometimes they realize they think and feel like the people they see beneath them. So they hide. They slip away and hide behind what they think of themselves. I have a personal explanation for all these lyrics. So if you wanna know anything I personally feel. Uhhh ask. :)

@@bip-bap4774 sounds interesting. I also thought I was better than other quite a long time but now I just kind of realised we all suck at times and we're actually all really similar :') I don't even expect anything from me or others anymore lmao

Hey, at 1:50 he sings ‘seething’ and not ‘feeling’

[@gitgitbraproductions8161]

Also I can’t actually find the correct lyric anywhere, but I think at 2:49 he sings an exception to the rule but I’ll have to see what he sings live

[@Mudgirl777]

nice!
