  • His spit is worth more than her work
    Pass the purse to the pugilists
    He's a prizefighter
    And he bought rings and he owns kin
    And now he's swingin'
    And now he's the champion
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver

    A spotless domain
    Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more
    Pictures of fields without fences
    A spotless domain
    Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more
    Pictures of fields without fences
    Her body numbs as he approaches the door
    As he approaches the door
    As he approaches the door
    As he approaches the door
    As he approaches
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!

    Yeah!
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!
    Revolver!
    Revolver!
    Revolver!
