Mother, My Body Disgusts Me Lyrics

Mother, don't come near me
Near me
Mother, you disgust me
I need my greed, mother,
I need my greed, mother,
Mother, my body disgusts me
I need my greed,
Mother, my scents disgust me
Mother, your body disgusts me
I hate my greed
I hate my greed, mother
I hate your smell
You disgust me
I need your dirty smell
I hate my greed
I need your dirty hands on me (x4)
You disgust me (x3)
I need your dirty hands on me
I need my greed
I need your dirty hands on me
Mother, you disgust me

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.

This song is clearly the songwriters ironic take on how standardized tests scores are destroying our students abilities to think creatively. Only a total idiot would find any other meaning.
