Call Your Mother

(Album: Big Dumb Idiot - 2022)

I am an influencer, but what's an influencer do?
Gotta make a little post and influence you, like
Brush your teeth, be kind to one another
Take ten minutes to call your mother

Call your mother, it's been three long weeks now
Call your mother, a text is not enough
Call your mother, gotta get on the phone
Call your mother, and give your mother a call
Call your mother, you gotta do what I say
Call your mother, 'cause I post on the internet every day
Call your mother, this time not tryna sell my shit
Call your mother, I'm telling you to Facetime that hot bitch

Call your mother, you can give her a call
Tell her about how you bought a new cowbell
Bet she'd love it if you told her 'bout your new cowbell
Call your mother, just for a little chat
If you were her, you'd probably like that
It's called empathy
Use it once in a while, you dumb fuck

Call your mother, it's been three long weeks now
Call your mother, a text is not enough
Call your mother, ya gotta get on the phone
Call your mother, go and give your mother a call
Call your mother, you got the power to call your
Or don't do what you want to do
I'm not the boss of you

It's called empathy, you gotta
It's called empathy, you gotta
It's called empathy, imagine if you were your own mother
Would you like if your child gave you call?
If the answer's yes you would
That means that you should

I am an influencer, what can an influencer do?
Make a stupid fucking song and influence you
You can change the world soon if you discover
Don't have to fix everything, just call your mother, fucker

Ask about her friends
What she did on the weekend
Is she currently free
To share her banana cake recipe?
You don't have to like banana cake
The entire conversation is symbolic
You're choosing to talk about something she likes
And that is nice

There's a lot of things on the planet that we can't control
War and famine, do people like me, am I an asshole?
Wait, you can change that last one
You got the power to be a massive sick cunt

Listen to a friend, instead of going on Instagram
Remember someone's name, hello Sam (they remembered my name)
If you still do small things even though big things exist
You're on your way to crushing it

I am an influencer, what can an influencer do?
Film myself without a shirt on and influence you
A life on social media, the damage it will do
Is worth it in the end if I just get one person to

Call your mother, give your mother a call
Call your mother, won't take no time at all
Call your mother, that shit will feed your soul
Call your mother, and put you in control
