"mother's little helper" (mick jagger / keith richards)

(imagem de requiem for a dream, de darren aronofsky)

"what a drag it is getting old.

«kids are different today,»
i hear ev'ry mother say
mother needs something today to calm her down
and though she's not really ill
there's a little yellow pill
she goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
and it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.

«Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day.

Doctor, please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old.

"Men just aren't the same today,»
i hear ev'ry mother say
they just don't appreciate that you get tired
they're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilise your mind
so go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
and four help you through the night, help to minimise yourplight.

doctor,plese, some more of these
outside the door, she took four more
what a drag it is getting old.

«life's just much too hard today,»
i hear ev'ry mother say
the pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
and if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
no more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper
they just helped you on your way through your busy dying day" (1)
