Sovereign fingers scrape our lives

until we're bought

Screaming comatose with

blackboard chalk

Siphoned minds suck a wallet full

of love

Spitting out a language I don't

wanna talk



CHORUS

Mother of the free she said that

we'd breathe

Mother of the free but we just

scream



To me the coronation's another

auto-da-fe

Taught in schools to see her as a

glorious being

I don't see happy homes but the

Belfast wall

In Walkman sounds hear Sony

control



CHORUS



Parliament mother of United

Nations

Mother of history's dead sun,

dead suns

DNA of restriction and law

Death, famine, spectacle and war



CHORUS
