Every Mother's Son Lyrics - J Mascis Live At Cbgb's: The First Acoustic Show - Dinosaur Jr.

Well I've been riding a winning horse 

For a long, long time 

Sometimes I wonder 

Is this the end of the line 

No one should take advantage 

Of who they are 

No man has got it made 

If he thinks he does, he's wrong 

[Chorus] 

Every mother's so 

Better hear what I'm saying 

Every mother's son 

Will rise and fall one day 

Seen it happen so many times, so many times before 

Some man got so much money he doesn't worry no more 

Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine 

My friends have all been fools 

It happens every time 

[Chorus] 

I'm not tryin' to preach to no one, to no one at all 

Seen a lot of my good friends just rise to fall 

'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine 

Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time 

[Chorus] 

What I say 

[Chorus] 

What I say 

Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall one day 

And so it goes
