Every Mother's Son - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Well, I’ve been riding a winning pig for a long, long time

Sometimes I wonder: is this the end of the line?

No one should take advantage of who they are

No man has got it made, if he thinks he does he’s wrong

Every mother’s son better hear what I’m sayin'

Every mother’s son will rise and fall someday

I’ve seen it happen so many times, so many times before

Some man’s got so much money, he doesn’t worry no more

Or he’s got such a prettty woman that’ll treat him fine

Well, my friend has been a fool, it happens everytime

Every mother’s son better hear what I’m sayin'

Every mother’s son will rise and fall someday

I’m not trying to preach to no one, to no one at all

I’ve seen so many of my good friends just rise to fall

'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine

Well, my friends have all been fools, happens everytime

Every mother’s son better hear what I’m sayin'

Every mother’s son will rise and fall someday

Every mother’s son better hear what I’m sayin'

Every mother’s son will rise and fall someday
