Motherland Lyrics
Artist(Band):Natalie Merchant
Where in the hell can you go far from the things that you know
Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling its way about 1,000 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.
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 & dime queen tell me what have you seen?
The lust and the avarice, the bottomless, cavernous greed, 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.
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 all, if there's anything I can do at all.
Now come on shot gun bride what makes me envy your life?
Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free, what's that like to be?
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep.
Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go.
Don't go.

Review about Motherland
All Development Must be Questioned | Reviewer: AUNTY DEVELOPMENT | 2/5/2008This song is one that questions where we are going. With nature dissappearing and concrete taking ovewr the planet what will we leave for futire generations. Good to see opposing side to big business.
It's refreshing to hear a song load with lyrics thathave meaning other than most of today's popular artists that are obsessed with their own id trhat they don't even see the world around them.
Soulful and true | Reviewer: Michelle S. | 7/5/2007
Isn't it an amazing feeling when you find that song on a CD that you have to play over and over because it moves you to the point that you cannot leave that sound or those words? They happen once in a while and this is that unique song that captures the emotion of our times.
Such impact | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/7/2005
Such impact from a song is rare these days in such a sweet lulabye....this is in my opinion the best tune on the CD.
