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 |
