Mama's gonna buy you a big black coffin |
|
She doesn't like the one uncle Sam's been offering her |
|
Yeah |
|
You're going out in style |
|
Mama's gonna raise all the sons and daughters |
|
Fathers fell by men and men in squalor |
|
Yeah |
|
She'll miss you for a while |
|
We don't feel the shame |
|
And we don't take the blame |
|
Men on TV tell me there's no other way |
|
We've got to take mama's baby away |
|
Mama's gonna run out of means and wages |
|
She'll have to beg for sympathy from desolate cages |
|
Yeah |
|
She's dragging skin and bones |
|
Mama's gonna turn to the politicians |
|
For answers turned to smoke and smoke by apparitions |
|
Yeah |
|
She's bound to beg and roam |
|
We don't feel the shame |
|
And we don't take the blame |
|
Men on TV tell me there's no other way |
|
We've got to take mama's baby away |
|
We don't feel the shame |
|
And we don't take the blame |
|
Men on TV tell me there's no other way |
|
We've got to take mama's baby away |
|
Gotta take mama's baby away |
