[Verse 1]
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice 
[Chorus]
Have you seen your mother, standing in the shadow
Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow 
[Verse 4]
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline 
- from "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby,
Standing in the Shadow?", Rolling Stones (1966)
