Dear mother dear father
What is this hell you have put me through
Believer, deceiver
Day in day out live my life through you
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life

Dear mother dear father
Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove
Curator, dictator
Always censoring my every move
Children are seen but are not heard
Tear out everything inspired

Innocence torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality
I'm living blindly

Dear mother dear father
Time has frozen still what's left to be hear nothing say nothing
Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee, it's life as is
But damn you for not giving me my chance

Dear mother dear father
You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly unspoiled unspoken
I've outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing I've always heard from you
Do as I say not as I do

Innocence torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality
I'm living blindly

I'm in hell without you
Cannot cope without you two
Shocked at the world that I see
Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear mother dear father
Hidden in your world you've made for me
I'm seething I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew

    My Interpretation

    its about someone's fucked up childhood.(mostly jaymz's but with a few added touches.) he grew up in a very strict, and religious family. His parents tried to hide him from the world and it's so-called "danger", so when he finally grew up and moved out of the house to live alone, he didnt know what the hell was going on, because of his over-protective parents.

    "Im in hell without you. Cannot cope without you two" : he has no clue what to do, and he needs his parents' aid, because thats all he's grown up to know. "Shocked at the world that i see.." :as i said, they've been hiding him from the real world, so when he's out on his own, its quite a surprise to him.

    anyways, that my opinion. if you disagree, dont hesitate to send me a message.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
