(Matt Andersen, Craig Northey)

THE TEMPERATURE IS SHORT OF CRAZY
A WAVE OF HEAT ROLLING THROUGH
YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO THINK IT
TO THINK HE’S NO BETTER THAN YOU

IF YOU SEE A LINE IN THE SAND
FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER PLACE TO STAND
KEEP IT COOL
THERE’S A REASON TO THE RULE

TAKE A DEEPER LOOK AT WHAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
FIND ANOTHER PIECE OF THE TRUTH

WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA SAY
WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA DO
WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA THINK
IF YOUR MAMA COULD HEAR YOU

YOU’RE FEELING DONE WRONG BY THE DOLLAR
HISTORY IS BRINGING YOU DOWN
ANGER MAKES YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH OFF
‘CAUSE YOUR CONSCIENCE AIN’T AROUND

YOU KEEP TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT
DOING SOMETHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG
YOU’RE POINTING THE BLAME
AT A GUY WHO FEELS THE SAME

LAY DOWN YOUR BURNING TORCHES AND THE LIGHT WILL SHINE THROUGH
GOT TO FREE UP YOUR POINT OF VIEW

WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA SAY
WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA DO
WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA THINK
IF YOUR MAMA COULD HEAR YOU

LAY DOWN YOUR BURNING TORCHES AND THE LIGHT WILL SHINE THROUGH
GOT TO FREE UP YOUR POINT OF VIEW
RESPECTING THE OLD BUT THE NEW IS TODAY
MAMA NEVER LET A SOUL GET TURNED AWAY

WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA SAY
WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA DO
WHAT WOULD YOUR MAMA THINK
IF YOUR MAMA COULD HEAR YOU
