Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed |
Mama, why did you do it? |
Mama, who drove you to it? |
Was it the pigs in grey suits |
Persecuting you? |
Uncivil servants |
Unconcerned at how they frighten you |
Life is nothing much to lose |
It’s just so lonely here without you |
Mama, why did you do it? |
Mama, who drove you to it? |
Spare priggish money-men |
Who scared the life out of you |
Bailiffs with bad-breath |
I will slit their throats for you |
Life is nothing much to lose |
It’s just so lonely here without you, mama |
Life is nothing much to lose |
It’s just so lonely here without you, so |
We’re gonna run to you |
We’re gonna come to you |
We’re gonna lie down beside you, mama |
We’re gonna be with you |
We’re gonna join you |
We’re gonna lie down beside you, mama |
And we will be safe and sheltered in our graves |
We’ll come before you |
And we will kiss you |
By way for one final hug, Mama |
