How did so much land
On your shoulders
Would you be quiet now it's over
To know I gripped with that leg
For so long now it scares me
I buried my head in the sand
So I wouldn't have to see his hand
Mommy I'm so tired
I didn't sleep that night
Oh how did so much land on you
How you ever gonna
Sleep the night thru'
How did so much land on your shoulders
I don't ever want you to get older
Raspberry Beret on
The front room radio
Are you listened to that record till you
Grooved a little hole
Playing mommy jealous and proud
She'd never stoop to that level
No not now now
And that dirt came
And that dirt came around
It wasn't her
But it shouldn't have been me
It wasn't her
But who's hand's on who's knee
Yeah yeah
Mommy I'm so tired
I didn't sleep last night
How how did so much land on your shoulders
I don't ever
Want you to get any older
How did so much land on you
I don't ever wanna
Sleep the night thru'
Mommy I'm so tired of carrying
What's not mine
It's not overt but it's so borderline
For a little girl
Get off is a loose term
Get off is a loose term
In general
How did so much land on your shoulders
I don't ever want you to get a older
Was it the war that did you in
Cuz I'm not sure
Dose anybody do this to you
