Lyrics
0:18Wiseman closed his mouth
0:20Madman closed his fist
0:22Young man shows his age
0:24Judge man named it sin
0:26Bad man don' exist no
0:29No evil man exists
0:30Good man don't exist no
0:32No righteous man exists
0:35Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see
0:39Never witnessed father weep
0:41This old man thought it weak
0:44But strong man don't exist no
0:46No undying man exists
0:49Weak man don't exist no
0:51Just flesh and blood exists
0:53But your mother would be proud of you
1:01I bet your mother would be proud of you
1:10The beast will crawl this earth
1:14Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows
1:20They'll rip apart his flesh
1:22Til all that's left is glorious bone
1:28So you'll bury your own
1:31Too vain
1:33You saw it unfold
1:36What you know
1:37And you claimed all you could hold
1:41Until death did you part from the mess you made
1:46I bet your mother would be proud of you
1:55I bet your mother would be proud of you
2:04Primate sharpens tool
2:07To survive and thrive in the jungle
2:12Maybe hearts were made to pump blood
2:16Maybe lungs were made for flood
2:21I won't blunt my blade for cut these chains
2:25Rather let my limbs be ** through mud
2:30You're my brother but your eyes are cold
2:35You're my sister but your womb is bare
2:39I bet our mother would be proud of you
2:48I bet our mother would be proud of you
2:58Bad man don't exist
3:00No evil man exists
3:02I know good man don't exist
3:04No righteous man exists
3:06Strong man don't exist
3:09No undying man exists
3:11Weak man don't exist
3:13No just flesh and blood exists
Wiseman closed his mouth Madman closed his fist Young man shows his age Judge man named it sin Bad man don' exist no No evil man exists Good man don't exist no No righteous man exists Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see Never witnessed father weep This old man thought it weak But strong man don't exist no No undying man exists Weak man don't exist no Just flesh and blood exists But your mother would be proud of you I bet your mother would be proud of you The beast will crawl this earth Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows They'll rip apart his flesh Til all that's left is glorious bone So you'll bury your own Too vain You saw it unfold What you know And you claimed all you could hold Until death did you part from the mess you made I bet your mother would be proud of you I bet your mother would be proud of you Primate sharpens tool To survive and thrive in the jungle Maybe hearts were made to pump blood Maybe lungs were made for flood I won't blunt my blade for cut these chains Rather let my limbs be ** through mud You're my brother but your eyes are cold You're my sister but your womb is bare I bet our mother would be proud of you I bet our mother would be proud of you Bad man don't exist No evil man exists I know good man don't exist No righteous man exists Strong man don't exist No undying man exists Weak man don't exist No just flesh and blood exists
