Where in hell can you go
Far from the things that you know
Far from the sprawl of concrete
That keeps crawling it's way
About 1000 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

O my five & dime queen
Tell me what have you seen?
The lust and the avarice
The bottomless the 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 o 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 you go
