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. |
