“Mother” is a song by American heavy metal band Danzig. It was originally released in August 1988 as the lead single from their debut album, Danzig.
In 1993–1994, almost six years after its original release, a remixed version of the song titled “Mother ’93” became a hit on radio and earned Buzz Bin rotation on MTV after a music video incorporating live footage was created to promote the band’s new EP, Thrall: Demonsweatlive. During this time the single was reissued by American Recordings, with the remix title updated to “Mother ’94” on later versions.
“Mother” remains Danzig’s highest charting single. It peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and 43 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, the song peaked at number 62 on the singles chart.
Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean
What they say
Mother
Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life?
Can you hide them from the waiting world?
Oh mother
Father
Gonna take your daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Oh father
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
‘Til you’re bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s
Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh mother
Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me?
Do you wanna feel everything?
Oh father
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
‘Til you’re bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s
Yeah
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
‘Til you’re bleeding
Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Oh yeah
More, yeah
