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
