Mother (Live at Carnegie Hall)

[Spoken Intro]

This song, is on the new album

Sort of features the horn section

Doing, uh, a thing in five eight

And it's supposed to uh, resemble the industry

And uh, money making

And, uh, pollution

Which is the biggest product of money

Oh well, heh heh

Anyway, it's called "Mother"

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]

Driving down the concrete beams

Looking around and it now seems

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]

Mama Earth is nowhere

Gone from your eye-eye-eyes

Hidden in the crust

Of man's scientific dreams

She is gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]

Natural man took her natural face

Made it a strange and alien place

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, with bandmates]

You can't bear to look up

She ain't there-ere-ere

Our Mother has been raped

And left to die in disgrace

She is gone
