Motherland piano leadsheet with chords
Where in hell can you go,
far from the things that you know,
far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling its way
'bout a thousand miles a day.
Take one last look behind;
commit this to mem'ry and mind.
I don't miss this wasteland, this the 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.
Oh, my fiveanddime queen,
commit tell me, what have you seen?
The lust and the avarice, the bottomless,
the ernous greed,
keep 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.
Don't you go.
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 it,
or the most of love,
if there's anything I can do at all...
Now, come on, shotgun bride,
what makes me envy your life?
Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless, and free,
what's that like to be?
Oh, motherDon't go.
