lyrics

I don’t know about the daily news
I don’t care what kind of soap you choose
All I care about is mama’s love and turning ten
Stevie always had a lot to say
Married mama in a stubborn way
Took her heart, her hand and then

She lost track of tempo
Gave up her lead
And she’d feel ashamed to know what I’ve seen

Like bloodstains on his shirt-sleeve
Colors shining through
“Don’t tell him what to do, Steve.
You don’t tell him what to do.”
There’s bloodstains on his shirt-sleeve
Colors shining through
“Don’t tell him what to do, Steve.
You don’t tell him what to do.”

Feels like March in the midst of June
With Stevie screaming in the other room
Mama’s voice is steel against the snow
Ain’t it funny how the house can shake?
How the tables turn and bend and break?

She comes from the silence
Sits me down
Reinvents the world with a hidden smile

And bloodstains on her shirt-sleeve
Color shining through
“Don’t tell him what to do, Steve.
You don’t tell him what to do.”
Bloodstains on her shirt-sleeve
Reddish Black and Blue
“Don’t tell him what to do, Steve.
You don’t tell him what to do.”
“You don’t tell him what to do.”

Don’t tell me what to do.
