Artist : Natalie merchant
Song : 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.
