lyrics

Mother gave me back

But only in a letter

Since I left before she could

She wouldn’t be misunderstood


Was her message on the back of a hand?

Was it written in her eyes?

Did you read it when you wept?

Did you read it when she left?


We’re all damaged

Mother damaged we are 

Rock and rollers on drugs

Little boys lost looking for love

We all received the letter

Now we’re crippled forever


The quiver of the bowstrings

the flexing of the bow
I’m wrestling, I’m toiling

I’m fighting all alone


Before I’m weaken and forgotten

my heart will find its home 

But today I stand to take the punch

So I can lay down where I roam


We’re all damaged

Mother damaged we are

Rock and rollers on drugs

Little boys lost looking for love

We all received the letter

Now we’re crippled forever


Larry “Wild Man” Fischer is our father

Divine he holds our hand

Refusing to shut up 

We sing across the land
We’re all damaged

Mother damaged we are

Rock and rollers on drugs

Little boys lost looking for love

We all received the letter

Now we’re crippled forever

We all received the letter
 

Now we’re crippled for...ever
