about

“My Mom the Realtor” is dedicated to my mother, because she loves me anyways, and because once I had children of my own she gave me the very same Lexus SUV that I poke fun of in this song, so that my kiddos could have a safer car ride on our way to Costco, anyways.
If my children someday choose to be anarchists like their father (minus the seriously damaged street-cred from the Lexus/ Costco scandal of course), I hope that they still love me anyways.

lyrics

When my Mom the realtor
sees a new Ivory Homes development
because she’s hard-workin’
she sees a market opportunity
she sees money.
When her son the anarchist
beholds the prefab robot turds shat out of some Southern California factory hole,
growing for growths sake, looking like a big mistake,
he sees cancer!

But what I’m trying to say is,
Is I love my Mother anyways
I love my Mother anyways
and she loves me, anyways!

My Mom the realtor used to smoke dope and wear tie-dye
her son the anarchist remembers being 4 years old and marching with her
in the streets of Berkeley in the 80‘s.
Now as we ride in her Lexus SUV to Costco
you can bet I still keep a place reserved for her in the revolution anyways!

(Chorus)

Now she’d do anything for me - anything!
except...for stop spraying her lawn!
And I’d do anything for her - anything!
except...for maybe, get a job!
Her generation birthed us
and now they’re trying to kill us all!
They worked real hard to raise us
now work hard to melt our glaciers
invested in our swim lessons
and guaranteeing now we’ll have to test ‘em
anyways!

But either way the thing is, is I love my mother anyways
and when I’m treading water through my city
I’ll know that she loves me anyways!

My mom puts me first,
she’s the only person on this earth,
who does that.
While I chant “Earth First!”
she still puts me first anyways!
I guess I’m her political cause
along with my sister and brother-in-law and their two kids
(she loves being a grandma)
along with staying married to my pa
for so long it’s a miracle
for all that I got to say to y’all
that though you know I love The Cause
my Ma comes befa’
every cause and all a y’all
cause that’s the way I love my Ma
that’s the way I love my Ma anyways!
And if you gotta ma like my Mom,
go ahead and sing along!
And sing it however the hell you want
cause in the end I’m still the anarchist son anyways!

And what we’re trying to say is
is we love our mothers most of all!
We love our mothers most of all,
and they love us most of all!

(and I love you most of all too Pa)
