I’m Asking Steppenwolf

I'm asking all you mothers
Do your children take jive?
And God was just piled upon them
Do you think they'll survive?
You send them to the movies
What you think that they'll see?
You know that that won't be love
That not breathing cheaply
They can watch a murderer
A rapist or a cheat
Armies kill millions
And violence in our streets

I'm asking!
Yes, I'm Asking!

But lost stinking bodies
Are still not for young eyes
I'm asking all you mothers
Do you tell your children lies?
How do you think they'll grow up
If they're weened upon a gun
Or stories of how the stork
And bout you, your new start
A tear in the darkness
As a wellness fills there eyes
When truth is discovered
If they leave you - don't
Don't you be surprised
I'm asking
Im asking all you mothers
Im asking
All you mothers to be
I'm asking
For the sake of our children
