Standard (EADGBE)
Where in hell can you go
Far from the things that you know
Far from the sprawl of concrete
That keeps crawling its way
About a thousand 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
Chorus
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
Verse
Oh, my five and dime queen
Tell me what have you seen
The lust and the avarice
The bottomless, cavernous greed
Is that what you see?
Chorus
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
Bridge
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 love
Or the most from life
If there's anything I can do at all
Verse
Now come on shot gun bride
What makes me envy your life
The faceless, the nameless
The innocent, the blameless
And free
What's it like to be?
Chorus
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
