Lyrics:
mother
We're praying for the world
And for the people eveywhere
Gonna show them all we care
[Chorus]
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
Where would we be without the sand and the sea?
Without a little help from the birds and the bees?
My family tree depends on the future of a plea,
derelict whales
Old mothers singing rusty old tales
Like revving engines keening sky high
Yet theirs is never a war cry
So I'll be your lover now, brazen
go ahead and kill themselves
I will not sign my blind faith away
To an unjustly leader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their
mother and father of four
All my life I grew up watchin' others dreams come true
And how I waited for my day in the sun
Every day I worked harder
And I
Tell me just another lie
Now we're woven under ice
Tell me that there is no other
I am a child - Be my mother
If you lie, babe - If you bother
COMES JOHNNY HERO
HIS CHEST IS ALL ABLAZE
MEDALS FROM THE WAR WORLDS
BY CHRIST YOU'D BE AMAZED
NEVER ENDING VIOLENCE
GENERAL SHAKES YOUR HAND
SCREW
Tried to divide us
They tried to conquer us
Yet we still thrive
Got my head up high
I'm just a black man tryna get by
Nothing more, nothing less
It all started on the motherland wars mainly tribal
Europeans arrived to the shores with the bible
Man become a slave or the sword of a rival
A hard
the moment when my mother died
To the first breath of my baby boy
I felt God
He was with me then
Through the heartache and in the joy
Yes, every tear that
like a rough neck man witha tough deck spittin game by the pound like what's next I can think of better things but in my brain its like a colluseam tiga
polarizing
When friends and families start to
Post opinions so surprising
(Don't enter the flame wars) You
Can always close the screen
Go out for a walk
yet all that could be heard were the cries of a war-torn mother for a son who wanted nothing to do with her.
They rushed her to the room, the lights
own war
Slave in your own chains
You look to the sun
And freeze to death
Torn apart in golden cages
Strangled by purity
Kissing the hand that killed
Still now, don't cry out
See them roll on by, children crying in the dark
It's not mother who calls when the shadows fall on their doors
You know,
go ahead and kill themselves
I will not sign my blind faith away
To an unjustly leader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their
peace with the inner child from the mobile home
Now I am handing back the medals that you pinned to my chest, we're at war, it's nit safe out in the open
gratitude like the water-bearer carries her jar.
Gathering it faithfully each day, and bathing in it to lift my spirit when I am weak
She would tell me
mother nature untouched by man
Now go give her a slap
I'm a computer chip, ADHD 8-bit
I'm so anthropomorphic
I'm the fear of logic in an angry mob
I
The hell with the war
Had promoters do the math and
Put my staff on tour
Saw the first one on the corner
He the one who finished last
Dodgin' the bullet
I've just come back from the war.
I'm angry and tired and bored.
Scarred by the things that I saw --
Still don't feel like I'm home.
Don't want to go
