  • Streaming + Download

    Includes high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app.

    ☛ Includes a pdf of the lyrics and credits. Please print it out on both sides of three pages, shut off your screens, lie down, get comfy, and listen to the whole album on earbuds, headphones, or decent speakers, while holding the text in your hands, like we did in the old days!
    ☛ We strongly recommend getting the album here rather than on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc., because basically none of the money you give those big corporations goes to the artist. Here, you can pay what you wish and it all goes to us (minus 10-15% for Bandcamp).
    ☛ Visit mommyheads.com to order the album on CD, plus many older albums and tee shirts.
    ☛ When you download, please remember to tick the mailing list box. Only 1-3 emails per year, and far more reliable than Facebook for hearing about our shows and releases.

If you download the whole album (pay what you wish), you'll get lyrics for all the songs. GRETA THUNBERG She’s in a room of suits and ties on men of twice her size She opens her eyes and all the truth comes out She don’t act cute, she doesn’t smile Bores right through Denial Mountain, her tunnel lets the air rush in And every time I hear her speak, the water hits my cheek Insanity breaks and things make sense again And so her wish is my command, this full-grown man just has to Follow the lead of a little girl Obey the girl What did I do to let her through, how did I make myself an Instrument tuned so when she plucks I ring? How can I find an orchestra that’s big enough to play the Symphony she can hear inside her head? She’s not just young, she’s also old and when she scolds I hear a mother echo, I hear a grandmother A line of women stretching back into the cave and yelling Wake up, this fire’s gonna burn our world Obey the girl Soft swaying dark filled with vanishing eyes Leviathans whose number makes her cry Grant her safe passage, wild whales Hold her, send wind to fill her sails Great rising blue, reach the brim of her heart We’re in a room of ABCs and 123s, the man says, “Take some looseleaf and put your name on it Now write this test and do your best cause if you fail you’re gonna Wind up in jail or on the filthy street!” But nature calls, the voice is small inside your head It’s like the itch of a kid, she wanna go outside And there’s a tree that you can see from in your seat You smell its flowers and leaves beginning to unfurl Obey the girl
