Mama, why did you do it?

Mama, who drove you to it?



Was it the pigs in grey suits

Persecuting you?

Uncivil servants

Unconcerned at how they frighten you?



Life is nothing much to lose

It's just so lonely here without you



Mama, why did you do it?

Mama, who drove you to it?



Spare priggish moneymen

Who scared the life out of you

Bailiffs with bad breath

I will slit their throats for you



Life is nothing much to lose

It's just so lonely here without you



Life is nothing much to lose

It's just so lonely here without you



So we're gonna run to you

We're gonna come to you

We're gonna lie down beside you, mama



We're gonna be with you

We're gonna join you

We're gonna lie down beside you, mama



And we'll be safe and sheltered in our graves

We'll come before you

and we will touch you

We'll go for one final hug, mama
