Motherland |
Where in the hell can you go far from the things that you know |
Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling its way about 1, |
000 miles a day? |
Take one last look behind, commit this to memory and mind |
Don’t miss this wasteland, this terrible place |
When you leave keep your heart off your sleeve |
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep |
Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don’t go |
Don’t you go |
Oh, my five & dime queen tell me what have you seen? |
The lust and the avarice, the bottomless, cavernous greed, is that what you see? |
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep |
Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don’t go |
It’s your happiness I want most of all and for that I’d do anything at all, |
oh mercy me! |
If you want the best of it or the most of all, if there’s anything I can do at |
all |
Now come on shot gun bride what makes me envy your life? |
Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free, what’s that like to be? |
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep |
Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don’t go |
Don’t go |
