Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh, aah, mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh, aah, is it just a waste of time?
Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm
Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe
Of course mama's gonna help build the wall
Mother, do you think she's good enough for me?
Mother, do you think she's dangerous to me?
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooh, aah, mother, will she break my heart?
Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up 'til you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe
You'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be high..?

Roger Waters said in an interview for Mojo magazine about this song, "The idea that we can be controlled by our parents' views on things like sex. The single mother of boys, particularly, can make sex harder than it needs to be."
This song tells a story about how Pink, the main character of the album, was raised by an overprotective single mother. His mother is helping Pink build his wall in order to protect him from the outside world.
This song was re-recorded almost completely for the film because there was a subplot in the film when Pink got fever.
" So I want to start with a story from the Old Testament.
There’s a scene in the Old Testament when the ancient Hebrews are moving the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant was a device that was manufactured in order to contain
The Word of God.
OR "A Radio for Talking to God" (if you're into that)
LIKE STAR WARS
And there was a rule among the ancient Hebrews which was
“You are not to touch the Ark of the Covenant.
No matter what.”
LIKE STAR WARS
And there’s a story in the Old Testament where the bearers of the Ark of the Covenant (they used to carry it), the bearers of the Ark of the Covenant trip and a man reaches out to steady it and when he touches it,
** SMITE !! **
God strikes him DEAD.
And modern people look at a story like that and the first thing they think is
“That seems a little bit harsh on the part of God given that the man was attempting to do something that he believed was good.”
Don't Judge GOD !!!!
But what the story was designed to indicate, in my opinion, is that
There are certain things that you touch at your peril, regardless of your intentions.
LIKE STAR WARS
And those things that you touch at your peril, regardless of your intentions, most cultures regard as sacred, as untouchable.
I want to make a case for you today
That those things exist
and also
Why they exist
and
Why it’s necessary for you to know that they exist.
I would also say that if you’re educated educated in a university, especially with regards to The Humanities
(which are in some conceptual trouble at the moment),
what essentially happens to you is that you are introduced in a relatively secular way to the concept of the sacred.
You are here, in the university, to learn about the eternal values of humankind.

And from the Bible (King James Version):
1 Samuel 6:19:
And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men...
2 Samuel 6:6-7
And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

And I think that people who tell you that those values do not exist or that they’re endlessly debatable, do you an unbelievable disservice."

You only need look around you to see that this is now True: -
There are imagines and pictures (not to mention, filmed fucking) of women all over the place now, whereever you look and it eery directions - they now blanket almost the entire suface of the Earth, regardless of where or not you are actually abel to see them, they're there, filling the very air itself with digitally encoded picrures of the women that we like - anywhere there is WiFI, or 4G, ant where under a satellite,
We have encircled the Earth with the eternal repetition of Stories. Fuelled by Buttfucking.
