Mama's Boy Lyrics

could't keep a secret
got a concrete skull
couldn't shut up you're an imbecile
you're an ugly dog there's
nothing to gain
you couldn't shut up got a
bad bad brain

couldn't hold your tongue you were just too young
like a two year old you told you told
you are all the same jelly bean brain
every one's a secret nerd
every one's a closet lame

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy

don't want to work in a hot dog stand
be a busboy messenger or a doorman
it's an abstract world you're an
abstract man
abstract city don't give a damn

this song is great.. and its about untrustworthy people. couldn't keep a secret, about something bad, probably, cause like a 2 year old you told, you told. and he probably told his mom, so they were makin fun of him...

I love this. I write these lines on every desk that I sit in in school. Just so everyone knows that I'm on to them.

I always thought it was about a low-level knockaround guy or a snitch about to get whacked. I read that Johnny was pinched for breaking into a store, but they guy that identified him was killed shortly afterwards. I always thought this incident inspired the song.
