Ma and Pa Lyrics – Fishbone

Ma and Pa Text

---

Wow!
Ah, u-uh, uh
Ah, u-uh, uh
Ah, u-uh, uh
Ah, u-uh, uh
Ah, u-uh, uh
Ah, u-uh, uh
Ah...
There once was a ma that wanted her
There once was a pop that wanted her
I know she's confused, she's my blood sister
She told me the blues, as she start to shiver
Only a child in the middle of a war
She's a problem child now because of a divorce
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Well, there's lots of moneys
For all the attorneys
It's not just a fight for child custody
'Cause ma and pa's revenge is making little sister bleed
Fussin' and fightin' through a family life
Make her wanna take drugs and be out of line
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
Fighting for love on an angel's feather
Why don't y'all watch video together?
Oh, yeah
Oh-oh
Oh-ah
Well, it's three the hard way
Doin' it the wrong way
Ma hates pa, pa hates ma
Little sister say: "What the hey-hey?"
Well there's an evil streak there
With a righteous leak, I fear
Well how?
A-ha, that's why a child goes astray
To live a life another day
Mom-and-a-pop in a family fury
Brother tried to say: "Little sister, don't worry"
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
Why'd the family rise and fall?
Hey, ma and pa
Well, it's three the hard way
You're doin' it the wrong way
Ma hates pa, pa hates ma
Little sister say: "What the hey?"
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
What the hell is wrong with y'all?
Hey, ma and pa
Fighting for love on an angel's feather
Grow a child, be the yo –uh, uh, uh– together
