Lyrics

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
