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
