Mama Said - Lukas Graham

Dopo lo straordinario successo ottenuto con 7 Years esce Mama Said il nuovo singolo estivo della band danese Lukas Graham, brano che fa parte dell'omonimo disco scritto da Lukas Forchhammer e Stefan Forrest.
La canzone è una critica verso la società moderna e benestante che impiega i propri soldi in cose superflue, dagli abiti sempre nuovi alle vacanze costose. Il ritornello parla di genitori con problemi finanziari che rassicurano i propri figli che non possono permettersi le stesse cose dei loro compagni, dicendo loro che è tutto ok; in fondo a loro non manca niente finchè hanno l'amore dai genitori, del cibo sul tavolo e un letto dove dormire.

When Mama said that it was okay
                        Re-                   Sol-
Mama said that it was quite alright
                                         Re-             Sol-
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
                   Fa
And it was ok
                                   Re#       Sib
Mama told us we are good kids
                                        Re-                Sol-
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
                          Re-                       Sol-
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                                   Fa
'Cause we were good kids
                                            Sol-
Remember asking both my mom and dad
Sol-                  /La          Sib
Why we never traveled to exotic lands
                                   Sol-
We only ever really visit friends
Sol-           /La                Sib
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
                                   Sol-
We never really went buying clothes
Re#                                                 Sib
Folks were passing on this stuff in plenty loads
                             Sol-
New shoes once a year and then
Sol-             /La                  Sib
Out to play ball so we could ruin them
                                        Re#         Sib
When mama said that it was okay

                                             Sol-
Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad
Sol-               /La                     Sib
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
                                             Sol-
But I don't think they really understood
Sol-                       /La                             Sib
When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood
                                          Sol-
I told them I'll be singing on TV
       Re#                                          Sib
The other kids were calling me a wannabe
                                            Sol-
The older kids they started bugging me
Sol-                      /La                     Sib
But now they all standing right in front of me
                                        Re#         Sib

Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                                   Fa
'Cause we were good kids
Sol-                 Do
I know which place I'm from
Re#            Sib

When I'm in doubt and struggling
Re#                Sib
That's where I go
              Sol-                    Do/Mi
An old friend can give advice
                    Re#                               Sib
