Nathalie Merchant abbr version Lovsky
Motherland
Where in hell can you go
Far from the places you know
Far from the sprawl of concrete
that keeps crawling its way
About a 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 of your sleeve
Oh, 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-and-dime queen
Tell me, what have you seen?
The lust and the avarice,
the bottomless, cavernous greed -
Is that all you see?
Oh, 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.
