Big Mother Lyrics

Big Mother
mother's eyes are
veined and watching
she hears all of our
talking
mother's hair and
thoughts are
tangled like car crash
meat and metal
mangled
mother's womb is
taut and swollen
she engenders blind
children
their mouths are
opening wide, spits
all her ideas inside
mother's hands
are long and whipping
my spoiled back is ripping
mother's words
manifest in rocks
carved by men with
broken cocks
mother sits in
white house chairs
makes all bedwetters
scared
Big Mother cracks my hand.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A society that both coddles and brutalizes it's people can only create "men with broken cocks".
