Mom and Pops
from From the Woodwork by The Radium Girls
lyrics
VERSE 1
When we started this venture,
Assured ourselves we'd never come to harm.
We allowed ourselves the wildest dreams,
Born of drink and fair fortune.
CHORUS
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns.
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip,
Who's smiling now? Who's smiling now?
VERSE 2
We're the neighbors and the folks down the road,
The man brewing in his basement,
Without means for any dirty tricks,
Kept afloat by way of merit.
CHORUS
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns.
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip,
Who's smiling now? Who's smiling now?
BRIDGE
And they'll try the same old shit,
We can't help but suffer it,
It comes with the territory.
And it goes without saying,
We're just hoping and praying,
That it ends up a happy story.
And so it goes...
CHORUS
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns.
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip,
Who's smiling now? Who's smiling now?
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns!
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip!
Who's smiling now?! Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?
When we started this venture,
Assured ourselves we'd never come to harm.
We allowed ourselves the wildest dreams,
Born of drink and fair fortune.
CHORUS
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns.
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip,
Who's smiling now? Who's smiling now?
VERSE 2
We're the neighbors and the folks down the road,
The man brewing in his basement,
Without means for any dirty tricks,
Kept afloat by way of merit.
CHORUS
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns.
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip,
Who's smiling now? Who's smiling now?
BRIDGE
And they'll try the same old shit,
We can't help but suffer it,
It comes with the territory.
And it goes without saying,
We're just hoping and praying,
That it ends up a happy story.
And so it goes...
CHORUS
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns.
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip,
Who's smiling now? Who's smiling now?
Moms and Pops, to arms.
We're locking horns, we're locking horns!
From the woodwork, we will slip your grip!
Who's smiling now?! Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?
Who's smiling now?

about
The Radium Girls Boston, Massachusetts
We began playing together freshman year in college, which mostly was just daydreaming and not cutting our hair. This happened in a tiny room, barely able to fit us. We played all over Rochester and released a demo in 2008, but we craved more - and with lots of coffee, we finished our debut album 'From the Woodwork'. We graduated in 2011 and moved to Boston, so we can make it big like Bon Jovi. ... more
