lyrics

I don't wanna go in there
feeling like a child would maybe understand
I don't wanna show up now
swollen of their faces in their sleight of hand

o mama, treat me like a child
o mama, I'm faced down the hill
o mama, don't you wake the child
o mama, straight down the hill

show me not to follow
and how to have my own real hell of a time
not for your freedom and never for the dime

o mama, treat me like a child
o mama, straight down the hill

through once or twice
staggering back out
through bits of dust
I'll find my way about

mother, she'll find my way about.
