Buck & Deanne — The Matriarch (Song) lyrics

Lyrics

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.
