Natalie Merchant - Motherland Lyrics
Where in hell can you gofar from the things that you knowfar from the sprawl of concretethat keeps crawling it's way about1,000 miles a dayTake one last look behindcommit this to memory and mindDon't miss this wasteland,this terrible placeWhen you leave keep your heart off of your sleeveMotherland cradle me, close my eyeslullaby me to sleepKeep me safe, lie with meStay beside me don't goDon't you goOh my five & dime queen tell me what have you seenThe lust and avariceThe bottomless, the cavernous greedIs that what you seeMotherland cradle me, close my eyeslullaby me to sleepKeep me safe, lie with meStay beside me don't goIt's your happiness I want most of alland for that I'd do anything at allOh mercy meIf you want the best of itor the most of it allif there's anything I can do at allNow come on shot gun bridewhat makes me envy your lifeFaceless, nameless, innocentblameless and freewhat's it like to beMotherland cradle me, close my eyeslullaby me to sleepKeep me safe, lie with meStay beside me don't goDon't go
