Bad Mamma the story of a single Mum sent to prison for non-payment of her electricity bills. Working 3 jobs. Not enough to keep her head above water……

Lyrics

7. Bad Mamma

I’m so frightened, I dare not speak
Never been in a place like this before & the walls are closing in
Gotta keep my head down, but not show my fear
Whichever way I look at it, I should not be here

The leccy man came, and saw what I’d done
He said there’d be trouble and that I’d done wrong
But no-one would listen to this single mum
Whichever way I look at it, I should be at home

Chorus
They say I’m a bad mamma ‘n’ they took my kids away
‘Cause I couldn’t pay my bills on the money on the money that I make
I had to find a way and I chose the wrong way
Whichever way I look at it, this price is just too much to pay

I’ve worked hard, 3 jobs in a line
It was just enough for food and rent but not for heat & light
Gotta keep my head down, ‘cause I’m doing time
Whichever way I look at it, gotta pay for my crime

Chorus & outro
