lyrics

Take all the shit that they gave ya
Take the fresh paint from the walls
Take anything that ain't nailed down
Take one of the steps out, so somebody falls

Take all the rugs and the curtains
Take every word as the truth
Take the big kickbacks and shortcuts
Take it with ice and a glass of vermouth

'Cause you can
Make it so
But your ego
Don't know

Giving is easy
Taking leaves nothing
Something that you'll never get
In the end honey
Like the strong scent of money
Fades and leaves lives to regret

Take all the time that is needed
Take every nickel and dime
Take the path back to my heart dear
Back to the scene of the bloodiest crime

Take care of you and you only
Take your possessions you phony
Take your sweet lies, and cold distant eyes
Wrap them real tight, and hit that highway

So you know the world's there for the taking
And just look at the path that you're making
If you think that those close to you can't
Can't figure you out
Then I'd say that you're sadly mistaken

Giving is easy
Taking leaves nothing
Something that you'll never get
In the end honey
Like the strong scent of money
Fades and leaves lives to regret

Progressive rock from New York's capital region. Fans of Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Yes will find something they love in Mother's Mistakes:

From the minds of two homeless doomsday prophets, words that were first scrawled on sandwich boards and sounds that began in overtaxed guts. Heed their lessons, hard-earned from ordeal and ordure alike. ... more
