mama lay softly on the riverbed

Morrissey

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 frightened 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 scare 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 run to you
We're gonna join you
We're gonna lie down beside you, Mama
And we will be safe
And sheltered in our graves
We'll come before you
And we will touch you
I may have one final hug, Mama
