Oh! What Joy! A child of our own...<br />
Oooh, such a handsome child.<br />
With a fusebox smile.<br />
I think he's trying to speak now.<br />
But he's got nothing to say.<br />
He must have nothing to say.<br />
Nothing, you say? He's all mine.<br />
I cannot hate you. Why should I bother?<br />
I never felt anything anyway.<br />
Dark in the bedroom. Why did you bother?<br />
You never saw each other, you should you see me now?<br />
The child can't do anything right.<br />
Oh, why can't he be like us?<br />
Tell me why?<br />
Clean the mind of this plastic baby.<br />
You set these eyes deep in this face.<br />
I just repeat what you said.<br />
You set this flesh upon these bones.<br />
I just repeat what you said.<br />
I'm through with patience.  I'll wait no longer.<br />
You never waited for me anyway.<br />
This thing inside me, it's growing stronger.<br />
It's going to tear. Tear until it sees the light of day.<br />
You set these eyes deep in this face.<br />
Now I just repeat what you said.<br />
You take my flesh and try it on.<br />
You'll just repeat what I said.<br />
Mother, you made me repeat what you said.<br />
I just repeat what you say.<br />
The story you told, still rings in my head.<br />
The young men came down, down to the river,<br />
To wash their hands of the mud.<br />
The young men came down, after the stoning,<br />
To wash their hands of the blood.<br />
See all the young men come down, down to the water,<br />
To wash off the mud. To wash off the blood.<br />
You just repeat what you said.<br />
You mean what you say.<br />
Young women came down, down to the river,<br />
To wash their legs of the blood.<br />
Young women came down, after the birthing,<br />
To wash their legs of the blood.<br />
I saw the women go down, down to the water,<br />
To wash their legs of the blood.<br />
The blood...the blood.<br />
Repeat what you said.<br />
You never mean what you say.<br />
I just repeat what you said.<br />
Keep still child.<br />
I'm washing your insides away.<br />
That's a good boy.<br />
You know we love you.
