Sovereign fingers scrape our lives until we are bought
Screaming comatose with blackboard chalk
Siphoned minds suck a wallet full of love
Spitting out a language I don t wanna talk

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

Mother of the free she said that we d breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

Mother of the free she said that we d breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

Parliament mother of United Nations
Mother of history s dead sundead suns
DNA of restriction and law
Deathfaminespectacle and war

Mother of the free she said that we d breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

Mother of the free she said that we d breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream
