Buck & Deanne - The Matriarch Song lyrics

rate me

Hotter than a perfect lover

Colder than a surrogate mother

That's what happens when a matriach

Doesn't get her way

She'll build a bomb in silence

And explode it without violence

A matriach will stop at nothing

Til her point is made.

Don't snuggle too closely to her bosom

You'll be cluttering her velvet cushion

Shanghaied by her soft illusion -

And bouncing off the walls

Just to keep her sane...

The goal posts will be shifted

Til her spirits are uplifted

That's what happens when a matriach

Doesn't get her way

She'll take away your rudder

With her words all made of rubber

A matriach will stop at nothing

Til her point is made.

Then one day she tells you straight:

"If you hate me it's because I'm great."

And the next day: "If you love me it's because I'm great."

One heart... Is never enough... for a soul-mate -

SOLO - over verse chorus chords

Sit down Vera Lynn

Freely on your pumpkin.

Deftly pass the stone -

To your next of kin

Bounced off the walls

La-h-menting on your violin -

The state you're in:

Dogged and driven

Since you left your mother's home

She'll be your greatest folly

And you her voodoo dolly

That's what happens when a matriach

Doesn't get her way.

She'll argue

And she'll reason

But never be fairly beaten

A matriach will stop @ nothing

Til her point is made.

Hark - in the dark, a matriach, is getting her own way.
