    (I couldn't resist posting the whole song)

    Yesterday, as I went out of the house
    I saw a body lying down quiet as a mouse
    Lying face down in the sewer
    I got up closer and realized that I knew her
    All her organs coming from her inside
    Slashed up skin sliced up hide
    Turned her over and saw the tire tracks on her head
    That's when I realized she was dead
    I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead
    I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead

    Twisted body chopped off feet
    Her body was minced meat
    Bugs crawling on her arms
    She's dead, can't do no harm
    Gnarled up legs, broken and bent
    Her last breath has been spent

    I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead
    I watched her as she bled
    Chewed off toes on her chopped off feet
    I took a picture cause I thought it was neat
    But the thing I like seeing the best
    Was the rodents using her hair as a nest
    I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead
    I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead

    I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead
    I saw her lying in a pool of red
    I think it's the greatest thing I'll ever see
    Your dead mommy lying in front of me
    I'll always remember her lying dead on the floor
    I hope she dies twenty times more
    I saw your mommy and your mommy is dead
    I saw your mommy and your mommy is dead

    Many's the time I've been thinking about changing my ways
    But when it gets right down to it it's the same drunken haze
    I'm serving a sentence to write life's sentences
    It's only when I'm out of it I make sense of this
