Motherland

Where in hell can you go
 Far from the things that you know
 Far from the sprawl of concrete
 That keeps crawling it's way about
 1000 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 of 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 and dime queen tell me what have you seen
 The lust and avarice
 The bottomless, the cavernous greed
 Is that what you see?
 Oh, 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 it 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 it 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
 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
