Ya bring your friends around
And ya know she's talkin' funny uh huh
Your mother's on drugs
Ya try to tell her so, she's staring right through every word you say
Your mother's on drugs
She's just so damned mellow
She never sees the tears
Spillin' out inside as you walk away
Your mother's on drugs
Ya know your mother's on drugs
Whatcha gonna do when your mother's on drugs
She's lost somewhere in orbit
Sleepin' on the kitchen floor
This kind of situation
Ya find it so hard to ignore
Like rerun TV escape
She is living Lost In Space
You know you're mother's on drugs
On drugs
You know you're mother's on drugs
Hey earth to Mom
Won't ya come in please
Can't you hear me
Your mother's on drugs
Turn down the valium
On your stereo brain-disco oh yeah
Your mother's on drugs
Your doctor's just a record
That's never been involved
With anything but money and alcohol
Your mother's on drugs
Ya know your mother's on drugs
Whatcha gonna do
When your mother's on drugs
She's into pharmacy cuisine
She's a chemical gourmet
She sure there's too much pressure
Livin' in the world today
She thinks she won't get caught
With her food for lack-of-thought
You know you're mother's on drugs
On drugs
You know you're mother's on drugs
Help from the city
Let's build a bigger jail
Just like all the others only on a bigger scale
Help from the preacher
But the preacher lost his faith
Someone led him to the test
He couldn't make the grade
Help from the doctor
He's still to drunk to call
Help yourself mother
Is life too big a pill to take
Pill to take another pill to take
Uh oh there she goes again
Your mother's on drugs
Ya know your mother's on drugs
Whatcha gonna do
When your mother's on drugs
She's on the phone for hours
Singin' with the dial tone
Ya never known a feelin'
Make ya feel so much alone
When she's not smokin' dope
Ya know she'd rather die than cope
You know you're mother's on drugs
On drugs
You know you're mother's on drugs
Your mother's on drugs
Ya know your mother's on drugs
